Hello all,
I just bought a G4 the one with only one processor. I am trying
to get Netbsd installed on it and I have some questions that maybe some of
you can help me with.
OF version 1.2.2f1
I think the mac I have is a Sawtooth G4 450(AGP)
I am trying to install netbsd-1.4.2
I have partitioned the 20GB drive into 5 parts using macos disk utility
partition 8 = mac HFS+ for macOS9
partition 9 = A/UX Swap (Apple_UNIX_SVR2) partition for NetBSD swap
partition 10= A/UX Root (Apple_UNIX_SVR2) partition for NetBSD /
partition 11=hfs +
partition 12=hfs+
now I copied ofwboot.elf and netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz to the root of patition
8 the macos9 partition.
at the OF prompt I type
0> boot hd:8,ofwboot.elf
this is what I get
0> boot hd:8,ofwboot.elf load-size=e738 adler32=31799a9
Loadin ELF

I get this
open /pci@f2000000/@d/mac-io@7/ata-4@1f000/disk@0/netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz :
