Hello!

I am new to NetBSD and I'm trying to install it on my beige DT 266.  I
got boot.fs.gz from the netbsd-1.4.1 directory, ungzipped it, wrote it
to a floppy using "dd if=3Dboot.fs of=3D/dev/fd0" (this happend under
Linux), and rebooted the Mac.  However, it accesses the floppy for a
short time and ejects it.  It booted it and held down
Shift+Option+Common+Backspace, which showed a floppy icon, the floppy
was accessed, but then ejected, and the floppy icon had a cross on
it.  I also tried getting to the OF prompt and typing "boot
fd,\netbsd-GENERIC_MD" (and some variations thereof, this is OF
version 2.4 btw), which yielded a blank screen, but then the floppy
was ejected.

I also tried the boot.fs.gz from the netbsd-1.4 directory, and I
checked the MD5 sums for all boot.* files.

So, I assume the disk image is somehow faulty or (more probable) I am
doing something wrong.  (I don't know much about OF and booting the
Mac, but have some Linux/i386 experience.)

I would appreciate it very much if you cc your replies to cheitzin
(at) ag.or.at, since I am not yet subscribed to port-macppc (has yet
to be checked).

Thanks in advance,
Yours,
Clemens
