Hello all,

I=92ve *almost* successfully installed NetBSD on my IBM 7248. My system =
is a little special though - the SCSI drive that it had was bad, so I =
instead installed on a CF Card that=92s plugged into the IDE controller. =
The installation of NetBSD went beautifully, however I can=92t boot my =
system.

The SMS sees the CF card as a bootable device, and when booting to it, =
the serial console hangs and the system never comes up. There=92s no =
real activity happening on the CF card.

I then tried creating a netbootable image with the hope of netbooting =
into my installed system. I booted up the installer again, and dropped =
to a shell. I chrooted into my system and did /usr/mdec/mkbootimage -m =
prep -b /usr/mdec/boot_com0 -k /netbsd boot.fs and tried netbooting =
again. The system grabbed it via tftp, but it hung afterwards. Again, =
there were no reads on the CF card.

It=92s worth noting that the CF card is 8GB, and SMS only sees it as =
roughly 3.7 GBs.

Here=92s the partition table:

# fdisk /dev/wd0=20
Disk: /dev/wd0c
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 15538, heads: 16, sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 15662304

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 975, heads: 255, sectors/track: 63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 15662304

Partitions aligned to 16065 sector boundaries, offset 63

Partition table:
0: Linux/MINIX (sharing disk with DRDOS) or Personal RISC boot (sysid =
65)
    start 63, size 9800 (5 MB, Cyls 0-0/156/35), Active
        PBR is not bootable: All bytes are identical (0x00)
1: NetBSD (sysid 169)
    start 9863, size 15652441 (7643 MB, Cyls 0/156/36-974/237/63)
        PBR is not bootable: All bytes are identical (0x00)
2: <UNUSED>
3: <UNUSED>
First active partition: 0


And the disklabel:

# /dev/wd0c:

 e:      9800        63       boot                     # (Cyl.      0*-  =
    9*)

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
