I had installed netbsd 1.0 before with no errors, but removed it due to
need for HD space. Until then I was reading the mailing list.. then I came
out a few days ago asking about the availibility of NetBSD 1.1 on CD-ROM. I
was told about Infomagic offering it, so I ordered it. During installation,
and after running netbsd1.1 (release, not current) I got a few bugs.

First while running Mkfs I got the following error:
Error on SCSIRead(),#5

Then while running Install I got:
Error on SCSIComplete(), #10

I am using a PowerUser 80mb (which has a Seagate HD in it) to install
netbsd. I also have an internal HD and a CD-ROM on the scsi chain but no
terminator and I am not sure if the CDrom or the PowerUser was terminating
correctly. So I just continued installing. After installing the man11,
etc11, base11 and netbsd11 I ran the Booter 1.8 with out any problems.

Once I entered the root drive (sd1) and chose the shell (sh) I proceeded to
type the following commands:

cd /etc
mkdir ppp

Then I got:
mkdir: ppp: Read-only file system

So I read the man of 'mount' and tried 'mount -w'. Netbsd responeded with:
ufs: /dev/sd2a on /: specified device does not match mounted device.

I also tried fsck (I think that's the command) and got something saying the
device was not configured. (Can't open /dev/rsd2a: Device not configured)

I would appreciate any help, and below is the hardware I am using:

Computer: Macintosh IIsi
Accelerator: 50mhz Daystar Cache card
Ram: 17mb
HD for netbsd: 80mb PowerUser (external)
CDrom (containing the CD that the binaries were on): Apple 300 (external).
Netbsd release version 1.1.

Feel free to send any responses either directly to me or to the mailing
list. Any flames will be passed to /dev/null :).

Thanks in advance for any info, and if anyone knows where to get an
extension to view CDroms created using ISO 9660 with the RockRidge
extension correctly on a macintosh I would appreciate it. Right now I get
to look at some confusing filenames.

ps: Great job on NetBSD :)
