Hi Scott,

Just three days ago i installed NerBSD on my suite little 486/33 with
8MB. Booting the HP (I'll call it T-REX, bacause of its age:-) was only
a little problem. The next problem was labeling the HDD. I took the
entries wich are provided by Quantum for HP-UX. I took all values from
their W3 Side except th number of sectors, this number i took twice
(because of secotr size). Now after netbooting it is not possible to Run
the 'disklabel' option of the 'sysinst' 'progam'. There comes always a
error message 'Bad Partion sd(0,2,2,1) or similar to that, and the
Program is terminated:-(
Running the Option 'miniroot' fails with an error -1, NFSD, Protmap and
mountd are running:-(
