- My system is a basic A3000 with two SCSI HDs and an external Syquest. I
- double and triple checked all settings, such as the info in HDToolBox.
-
- First attempt:
- HD0: Amiga partition, root (15M), swap (20M)
- HD1: usr
- HD2: Amiga-format syquest (with base11, etc.)
-
- loadbsd -b netbsd finds sd0, sd1, and sd2. I tell it to use sd0* for
- root, and everything goes ok. Then it asks for the /usr drive. I get a
- message sorta like this:
-
- You have chosen
- Here is a list of partitions on
- Which partition do you want to use?
-
- If I type sd1 anyway, it won't take it. NOTE: This and all other
- attempts work exactly the same with and without the -I ff option for
- loadbsd.
-
- Second attempt:
- HD0: Amiga partition, empty partiton
- HD1: root, swap, usr
- HD2: Amiga-format syquest (with base11, etc.)
-
- Works like a charm. I may have to do it this way but I need to figure
- out how to add the empty partiton as /local or /home or something. (I
- don't yet know how to mount, newfs, etc.)
-
- Third attempt:
- HD0: Amiga partition, root, swap
- HD1: usr, toor (.5M root partition)
- HD2: Amiga-format syquest (with base11, etc.)
-
- When asked for root, I type sd0*. Then it finds sd1 when asking for
- /usr. All goes fine. until I get to the first spot I need to halt and
- reboot. Any attempts to loadbsd netbsd start the process (it finds
- drives, etc... up to finding mice, I think) and then rebots my system.
-
- Any help, advice, etc? I'd like it if root and swap were on sd0, with
- usr on sd1. If not, though, I'll try to make /local on sd0, though I
- can see running into similar problems.
