Hi

How will this help? What will it do?

I have already installed NetBSD on CF using the guide but it wont boot. On p=
owering on the Z50 you see dots scrolling during the POST and assumed it wou=
ld pick up the bootable NetBSD installation on the CF card but it doesnt and=
 just goes into Windows CE.=20

Shouldn't the install create a boot file on the CF card directing it to the N=
ETBSD install or do I need to do this?

Is it not booting as I forgot to enter # /sbin/mount-u-w/ ?
Does the Full FTP install load X windows?
