I'm sorry if this is the wrong list for this kind of question.  Please excuse 
the post if it is. 

After installing NetBSD on my Power Mac, and setting the recommended variables 
in the Installation Document, the OS hangs during the boot process.  It looks 
like this: 

Open Firmwware 2.0f1
To continue booting the MacOS type: 
BYE<return> 
To continue booting from the default boot device type: 
BOOT<return> 
For Open Firmware serial I/O type: 
TTYA IO<return> 
 ok 
0 > boot
OF_open bootpath=ide0/disk@0 
read stage 2 blocks: 01234567. done! 
starting stage 2... 

>> NetBSD/macppc OpenFirmware Boot, Revision 1.7 
>> (autobuild@tgm.netbsd.org, Tue Feb 10 23:44:14 UTC 2004) 
Cannot use bootpath 
Using boot-device instead 
no active package 3872492/ 


it ends with the cursor under the '/', after it stops spinning. 

I would like my Power Mac to boot.  Any ideas? 


Something I didn't see mentioned else where, but that some of you might want 
to know -- when I wrote the NetBSD floppy disk images (boot1.fs and boot2.fs) 
using rawrite2 on a windows PC, I would get read errors when trying to use 
them to install.  When I used dd on a linux machine, they worked fine.  I went 
through 7 disks thinking they all might of had bad sectors before I tried it 
on a linux box.
