Hello John!

Assuming the installation runs under some form of NetBSD,
there seems to be some difference between that and the
version it install.  The installer seemed to work fine!

  JH> Can you give us the full error message and the
    > messages that preceded it?

I'll need to re-install (I've just wiped the disk in
question).  I don't know what messages preceded it because
the screen just filled with that single line message!  =o(
I'm currently installing FreeBSD on the other machine (whose
NIC NetBSD seemed not to like).  If you think it will help
the NetBSD/i386 development effort I can document the
machine and circumstances of the error I encountered.  Would
this be of use?

I'll readily admit that the machine in question is far from
ideal.  I was aiming for a proof of concept before building
something more appropriate.

Regards,

Andy.
