I am trying to install netbsd 1.5.2 on a beige minitower powerMac G3 with
2.0f1 firmware. I have done everything exactly according to the
documentation, the installation was successful. The problem I am having
happens when I try to run SystemDisk. I downloaded and created the
Disktools boot disk, it works and the machine boots into the Mac desktop.
Then, I select "eject disk" from the special menu and insert the
SystemDisk. The disk is ejected and I am prompted for the Disktools disk,
at this point the machine crashes.
I have tried a few different floppies, so I don't think it is a bad floppy
although it could be. The SystemDisk tutorial on the netbsd website is a
little sparse on this information. It says to make the Diskimage disk
using the Diskimage tool, which I did. But, it does not say how to make
the Systemdisk. Can you just copy SystemDisk2.3.2.smi to a floppy? Once,
the machine boots what is the procedure to mount the SystemDisk2.3.1.smi
image. Is there a step I am missing? Any help will be greatly
appreciated!!!! Please also respond to this address directly. Thanks in
advance.
