Hello,

Here is the background : G4 Sawtooth, NetBSD installed on the slave IDE
drive. MacOS9 on the master IDE drive.

In openFirmware, I tried:

    boot ultra1:0,netbsd

It tells me the LOAD-SIZE is too small (indeed it is 0 ! and adler32=3D31 (or
something))

But this is the only boot command that seems to do something without bootin=
g
MacOS after the error is detected...
I don't know how to change these variables : setenv seems to create a new
one with the same name 'load-size'...
BTW : what does these variables mean : load-size and adler32 ?

Than you,
