Hi,

I'm having problems installing MacBSD onto my Mac II ci. I've read the 
FAQ, yet still no luck.

My problems occur when booting. I have installed :

netbsd11
base11
etc11
comp11

& "built devices"

I am on using a single "Root & Usr" partion (set up with apple HDsetup 
Utility) of 38 MB plus a 3 MB swap file (I know its small but it all 
seems to fit on). Yet when booting I get the prompt:

enter pathname for shell or RETURN for sh:

Upon hitting RETURN (or anything else!) I get the message:

panic: Kernel jump to zero

and the whole thing crashes, leaving me with a Mac I have to reboot. I 
understand there is a patch for the MacBSD1.1 kernel, but I cannot use 
this patch until I have installed the system.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to solve this problem, or why even 
it is occuring ?

Many thanks...

Dan
