I'm trying to get PocketBSD to work on my Epods
machine (a 3922 processor). The Epods is a wince
web-pad device. I have copied pbsdboot.4pp.exe and the
netbsd.tx3922 kernel to a Lexar 16MB compactflash
using Win98. From the Epods/wince I run the pbsdboot
loader and select the Frame Buffer configuration of
"Sharp Telios HC-AJ1/AJ2". This configures the boot
loader for the right "ID". I'm configuring the "serial
port on" and using "h" in the Options field. 

The kernel loads and prints console messages to the
serial port. It gets to a point and stops. Here's the
last part of the printout:

-------------------------------------

-------------------------------

Is this the point where the kernel trys to mount the
"ffs" filesystem? If so, then how do I create an "ffs"
filesystem on a Lexar CF from win98? I've installed
netbsd for i386 and can't seem to mount this CF. The
CF reader is Lexar's own USB connector.

Another note: if I don't turn on the serial port when
loading the kernel the Epods screen blinks, then you
see what might be the console on the top one-half of
the screen but the text is nothing but black lines.

Any ideas on what to do next?

Thanks.
