Computer Science, Knoxville Lines: 19 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2jn2ovINN71q@CS.UTK.EDU> Reply-To: moore@cs.utk.edu NNTP-Posting-Host: wilma.cs.utk.edu I'm trying to install NetBSD on a thinkpad 750. So far I've patched the boot program and floppy disk driver to treat the TP750's 2.88Mb floppy (type = 6) like it was an ordinary 1.44 Mb drive; a patched kernel-copy floppy now boots and apparently auto-configures its devices correctly, and mounts the floppy as the root file system. Now I cannot talk to the install script. When I type 'n' to say "don't start installing yet", it echoes twice. Other keys generally aren't recognized. It looks as if the scan codes generated by the keyboard aren't what NetBSD expects. Has anyone seen this before, who can tell me how to fix it?
