Hello,
did you use pdisk (from NetBSD) to set the filesystem-bits?
(don't know how they are called exaktly) But if I correctly
recall getting NetBSD to boot on an iBook
- 1st. you partition with mac-tools to make MacOS happy
but MacOS doesn't care about some bits in the Disklabel that
NetBSD uses to determine what the root partition is
- 2nd. in NetBSD# pdisk /dev/rwd0c
your Root partition should look something like
UFS k0 13: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 NetBSDroot 409600 @ 13773809
(200.0M) S0 RUFS k0 /
with the "R" in " SO RUFS k0 " beeing the important point.
man pdisk should help you to get there; hope that helps
Rudi
