When I returned from summer and tried to boot NetBSD
on my M68K, it stopped during boot up and told me that
my external drive I boot from has a bad magic number,
(this during fsck, then it gave me a shell) that it was
HFS.
All the files on the drive seem intact, but it just won't
boot (it seems to boot in read only as well). What can I
do?
