Mkfs and NetBSD Installer



Hello,

I know there's some work to update the Mac OS NetBSD Booter using Code
Warrior. Would it be possible to also update the Mac OS Mkfs and NetBSD
Installer programs to allow creation of ffs2 filesystems and
installations that exceed the 1 GiB boundary of a SCSI disk?

The reason I'm asking is because I would like to use the "Traditional
Method" to install NetBSD on ancient systems (such as a Mac IIci). Using
the Traditional Method, I can install NetBSD on a IIci's disk (in an
external enclosure) relatively quickly using a faster system, such as a
Beige G3 or a PowerBook Lombard, without needing to find a SCSI CD-ROM
drive that's still working.

If no one wants to update Mkfs and the Installer, please let me know how
they were compiled (Code Warrior, MPW, Think C), including appropriate
versions. It might be possible to find the appropriate version(s) on eBay.

thanks

-Stan Johnson
