Hello, I know there's some work to update the Mac OS NetBSD Booter using Code Warrior. Would it be possible to also update the Mac OS Mkfs and NetBSD Installer programs to allow creation of ffs2 filesystems and installations that exceed the 1 GiB boundary of a SCSI disk? The reason I'm asking is because I would like to use the "Traditional Method" to install NetBSD on ancient systems (such as a Mac IIci). Using the Traditional Method, I can install NetBSD on a IIci's disk (in an external enclosure) relatively quickly using a faster system, such as a Beige G3 or a PowerBook Lombard, without needing to find a SCSI CD-ROM drive that's still working. If no one wants to update Mkfs and the Installer, please let me know how they were compiled (Code Warrior, MPW, Think C), including appropriate versions. It might be possible to find the appropriate version(s) on eBay. thanks -Stan Johnson
