Jonathan, you are right, the cd drive was not detected. And i could not mount it. But putting a pci nic into the machine was the solution. I was able to get the sets via ftp. Now the next problem begins: after sysinst told me the sets have been extracted succesfully i am not able to boot from the fresh installed disk. It finds and executes ofwboot.xcf but there seem to be some trouble with the kernel: 0 > boot -v disk2:0 - OF_open bootpath=/bandit/53c825@11/sd@2,0 read stage 2 blocks: 01234567. done! starting stage 2... >> NetBSD/macppc OpenFirmware Boot, Revision 1.7 >> ([email protected], Tue Feb 10 23:44:14 UTC 2004) /netbsd: Inappropriate file type or format /netbsd.gz: Inappropriate file type or format open /netbsd.macppc: Device not configured Boot: any idea? and btw: wich is the most current devision of netbsd your ANS accepts?
