I've been trying to install netbsd on a MacTV (68030, and specifically listed as compatable with release 1.2), on a Zip 100 on SCSI 6 (formatted A/UX 3.X with SCSIDirector (3.0.7?)) Everything works fine using Mkfs, but the Intall Utility 1.1 fails to work. On installation, I can get the netbsd portion in place, but when trying to install base12, the installer fails with a type 1 (?) error, running sys 7.5.5 with extensions off. I don't believe the file to be corrupted, as it will lock up at different files during the process (sometimes later than where it crashed during a previous attempt). I've also tried booting from 7.5, and from both external (scsi ID5) and internal drives. What, if anything, can I do to try to solve this problem? Quit the finder, so *nothing* is running but the installer? Is there a problem with drivers installed by SCSI director? any help appreciated. thanks, -Jim
