Lines: 25 Message-ID: <4torvu$sk6@sun.sirius.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: transporter.halestorm.com I'm trying to install netbsd on a 486-66 w/20meg RAM, 405mb IDE drive, and 3com net card. I've partitioned the disk as a single BSD partition, using linux's fdisk utility. I can get through the initial "install" program from a boot disk, which appears to newfs the partition. However, from then on, when I try to reboot from the kernel copy floppy, the following message is quickly flashed on the screen: dumping to dev 201 offset 0 dump area unavailable rebooting And then the machine reboots. Anyone know what the problem might be? -- Bruce p.s. please answer in email; I will summarize to the group.
