Date: 2 Oct 1996 05:01:10 GMT Organization: Quadrant International, Inc. Lines: 20 Sender: -Not-Authenticated-[3314] Message-ID: <52ssum$g09@gnews2.voicenet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: paoli29-pri.voicenet.com X-Newsreader: InterNews 2.0@paoli29-pri.voicenet.com[U] XDisclaimer: User not authenticated I downloaded NetBSD 1.2 and installed it on an old Mac Performa 460 (68030 33Mhz, 68881, 20MB RAM, System 7.5.3, 730MB HD). The installation went fine, but when I try to boot, it gets almost all of the way there -- I assume this because a lot of text scrolls by in the console and then a message indicates "Closing log file" -- and then the entire machine locks-up tighter than a drum. I have to use CTRL-COMMAND-POWER to reset the machine. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? I would really appreciate an email to pnush@quadrant.com as I do not have access to the newsgroups all that often. BTW, I boot with Extension Off just to make sure nothing is hanging around in memory to screw things up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pete Nush, Brand Manager Voice: (610) 251-9999 Quadrant International, Inc.
