I tried (twice) installing the NetBSD prerelease earlier tonight, but
both times it hung on me at the same point. The output was something
like:
unpacking a lot of tgz files
.
.
.
copying the kernel
running MAKEDEV
Finishing etc
and then it just hangs there. I rebooted it to see what it would let
me do, which wasn't much. It gave me the bourne shell when it
couldn't find /etc/fstab. I couldn't even cd into some of the
directories like /usr which had read and executable permissions to
everyone. But, I could cd into /etc and a few other directories.
At this point, I was going to try to run the script
/srvd/install/install, but the /srvd directory hadn't been setup yet.
So, what should I do? Seeing that I tried installing off of floppy
twice already with the same result, I figure that I need to do a
little something extra.
thanks....
