Hello. I've recently managed to obtain an old notebook, Samsung Sens Pro 500 and decided to install NetBSD onto it. But there's a problem: - it doesn't have a network adapter (I'm using a 3COM Megahertz 574B PCMCIA card). - it has only 639+7168K or RAM. So when I try and boot from bootlap1+bootlap2, it just reboots after showing 0x75a7c8. I can boot from boot-tiny just fine, but then I don't have any PCMCIA support and so have no network drive to install from. I don't have NetBSD installed anywhere else, so I can't make my own boot floppy. Is there any way to install NetBSD onto my laptop? Looking forward to any reply, Alexei Marine
