I'm having trouble adding some hardware to my i386 system. I started with
a single hard drive which was split into about 500MB for NetBSD and 2
dos/win95 partitions of about 1GB. I added a new hard drive (10GB) which
is going to be entirely for windows (not my choice). I formatted the new
drive and copied all the dos and windows stuff over. Next I changed the
new drive to be the master and the old drive to be the slave (IDE drives).
I can now boot dos/windows from the new drive.
My next step is to reclaim the extra 2G on the old drive for NetBSD.
However, I can't boot NetBSD anymore. I've tried booting off of the 1.3.2
boot floppy, the same one I used to do the original install on this
machine and I see the old drive listed as wd1 (it used to be wd0). So
after booting from the floppy, I did
mount /dev/wd1a /mnt
mount /dev/wd1e /mnt/usr
and I could see all my old NetBSD stuff. So I did
cd /mnt/etc
and edited fstab to have wd1 where it used to have wd0.
Now I boot the machine with the NetBSD boot floppy, hit space to give a
different boot command and try
boot wd1a:netbsd
and get
"boot wd1a:netbsd: Device not configured"
Any ideas??
This is still NetBSD-1.3.2/i386. I was going to wait for the 1.4 release
and before upgrading again (instead of going to 1.3.3 first).
Thanks
