I have used the format(using MKS) and install(using NetBSD 68k
installer) methods provided aon the netbsd/.../macos68k web site. I then
configure NetBSD Booter as a standard "single user" for the first boot. 

I hit "Boot Now" and the screen dump reads as follows;

Mouse and Keyboard dead, monitor motionless, all to quiet.

Seriosly, this is getting quite frustrating.

This is all old "out of the box" equipment. Real single owner stuff. And
a real plain-jane installation.

My partition scheme looks like this;

sd0 at scsi ID 0
Partition read, SCSI ID = 0
Mounting partition `A' as /
sd0a: Root `NetBSD Root' at 704 size 393216

I know a little about the Un*x environment. This email is being sent out
from my (SuSE) Linux homebox and I have been an avid follower of Macs
Darwin/OSX project, running 10.1.1/9.2.1 on my SOHO, but they're
no-brnr's to get running but not as "open". So I Know just enough to
kwow I don't know spit.

This has been a good machine over the years but it's just about fallen
off the bottom of "tech spec" charts.

So I would really like to put it into service as a network ?smart?
device.

But the install seems to stall/freeze/crash at the first character on
the line following "root filr system type:ffs"

Any help in keeping/getting this puppy rollin' would be much
appreciated.
