You have to repartition the disk after dding the floppy image to the disk. Boot from the installation disk, go to a shell, run fdisk on the SCSI disk. You will see a partition at the begining of the disk with type PReP boot. Make a 2nd partition that coveres the rest of the disk of type NetBSD. Run disklabel on the SCSI disk and do the usual BSD slicing (a, root-FS, b swap, e /usr, ... leave c and d alone). Most likely you will have to reinstall the system. (Make filesystems on the disk, mount them, untar distribution sets, run MAKEDEV) It seams there is no way for the bootloader and / or kernel to determine the boot disk. So you have to hardwire the root-FS in the kernel config like: config netbsd root on sd0a type ffs -- tschüß, Jochen Homepage: http://www.unixag-kl.fh-kl.de/~jkunz/
