Hello, all.

I have a B&W G3 onto which I have been trying to install NetBSD/macppc. 
I already run NetBSD/mac68k on a few machines, and wanted to see the 
comparison, so have been trying to install it.

The G3 has two IDE buses, the first of which has only a CD drive, the 
second of which has the hard-disk which I want to use for NetBSD. My Mac 
hard disk is on a SCSI card.

I can boot the sysinst kernel with the following:

	boot ide1/disk@0:6,ofwboot.xcf ide1/disk@0:6,netbsd

and I get to the installation kernel just as with other NetBSD releases.

However, when I choose the hard disk onto which I will install NetBSD, 
it politely tells me that:

	"I only found one hard disk, sd0, so I presume you want to install 
NetBSD onto that."

Or words to that effect. But I don't want to! I have this hard disk 
which clearly exists since I booted the kernel from it. Why won't it see 
it?

I have valid partitions for NetBSD on it, too.

When I put that disk as a slave onto the first IDE bus, it will not even 
boot the installation kernel from it.

I have searched the 'net, but to no avail.

Appreciating any reponses, all the best.
