Just a quick message in the hope that someone can help me.

I'm trying to load NetBSD on my Amiga.  I follow the instructions and get upto
the root device message where I put in fd0 and press return.  I get the message

2 mice configured
10 views configured

the floppy disk drive starts reading the disk and stays spinning until I
reboot.  The only thing I can think of is that it may not like my SCSI
controller, which is by no means standard.  I have tried the disk on a friends
A3000 and it steps past this point in ten seconds or so.

Any idea ?

Thanks
