I have the task of installing NetBSD on a G3 266 (beige)
desktop system here.

I went into Open Firmware, booted the install floppy of the
20000620-1.5 snap, and did a ftp install just fine. Now, I
can't seem to get the system to boot from the drive (I
dedicated the entire drive to NetBSD, its IDE:/).

This particular machine is running Open Firmware 2.0f, and I
did run System Disk. Can this system boot from its IDE disk
or do I absolutely have to create a bootdisk? This system is
going to eventually run unattended.

Help! :)

Cheers,
Sean
