Re: Installation Error For Mac68k NetBSD on SE/30

Thanks for trying that. I tried the same thing on my system (blank 1GB disk
image at SCSI 1). The first time it was unformatted, and I tried to format
it with the installer, but after creating the partitions it said there
wasn’t enough space for them and crashed. Then I tried again after
formatting the drive as HFS (giving it a partition map) and then
repartitioning it in the installer again. That time the installer crashed
immediately with a segfault. I didn’t get a stack trace either time
unfortunately, but since it sounds like this method *should* work, I’ll try
it again and take better notes about what I did and what happens.
