  I am trying to install NetBSD-0.9 in a old MFM 40 meg disk with type 21/14
selected in my PC bios. I can format the drive in DOS, but when I install
NetBSD, the install fail to detect the drive posting: <UNKNOW> type, and
/dev filesystem was never created!

  Is there a manual way to make NetBSD recognize the wd0 type???? Thanks for
Any INFO!!!
