I'm unable to install NetBSD 1.6 on a Nec MobilePro 790 using a 256 mb
SAMSUNG CF/ATA Compact Flash (i write down the model as the kernel says).
The installation process begins, i set up slices, partitions...but the newfs
command fails with a lot of weird error messages...
I think it's some fault in the compact flash, since i've been running netbsd
on a 128 mb PQI cf for weeks, with no problems at all. Since the cf works
well under CE, i think there are some compatibility issues with
NetBSD/NON-WinCE OS's.

Got any ideas?

Cheers,
Simone.
