-
- Try this idea:
-
- Get the Netbsd 1.0 boot-10.fs and inst-10.fs files. Use the tool
- rawrite to create the disks.
-
- Boot using these.
- Stop the install script.
- mount the ADOS partition that has the inst-11.fs file on it to /mnt
-
- execute: dd if=/dev/rsd0b of=/mnt/[ados_path]/inst-11.fs
-
-
- eject the floppies, and reboot the system.
-
- you should be able to use loadbsd -b netbsd now.
-
- Specify sd0* to find the swap partition.
-
-
- BTW : General practice is that the b partition is the swap partition under
- BSD/SunOS/HP-UX. Some things I just wouldn't tempt fate on.
-
- Also, I'd confirm that whatever HD partition tool you used, set the
- Max Transfer and Mask values to 0x0 for each partition. (helped in
- my case)
