Hmm, I always thought my PS2 (the european version) somehow wasn't compatible with NetBSD/playstation2 since booting the kernel (following the web instructions) failed. Now Jared D. McNeill notified me that he had the same problem - but booting directly from p2lboot worked. I tried that, and indeed it worked for me too. I added this line to p2lboot.cnf: "NetBSD" netbsd.gz "" 203 /dev/hda1 "" NetBSD on Memory Card and copied the gzipped kernel onto the memory disk. It worked just fine. So, did I do something stupid when using redboot? Can someone describe the boot process in more detail? And I guess we should update the web instructions... Martin
