2 main hangups...

1) When issuing "LoadBSD -b NetBSD" then inserting the raw-wrote install
disk, the Kernel panics with message "panic:cannot mount root" after 
I enter "fd0<cr>".

Rawwrite wrote 160 tracks.. Is it supposed to use a HD floppy? If so then
I need a smaller filesystem image for a DD Drive.

Actually, I issued "loadbsd -b -p -c 2000 NetBSD" (It thought my machine
was a 1200 and it was using 16-bit memory instead of 32-bit)


2) I have an IVS Vector 030 accelorator.. The docs tell how to format HD
partitions for NetBSD using HDToolBox. IVS_SCSIvector.device does not
seem to agree with HDToolBox and causes a Guru error. The docs on the
Vector utils say that it wll not format custom Dostypes. Suggestions ??

I am using Vector tools version 4.14 and ROM 4.14 if that makes any 
difference

Thankx in advance for any suggestions.
