Very Computer

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

I had the same problem Seems netbsd 1.1 for the mac IIci doesn't
correctly protect the memory used for video I think. I suspect
that is the case because when I changed the color depth in the
monitor control panel to 1bit( that is not just to black & white
but literally by going into the option where it lets you allocate
less ram for video, then it boots ok. Still, after awhile it
hangs. * things like VM faults and whatnot. I couldn't untar
gcc which was 28 meg either. kept crashing. Recompiled tar and
was then able to untar all of gcc 2.7.2. Really a pain this problem
considering the mac IIci was one of the greatest mac models ever
produced and that I STILL can't get it to run more that a few minutes
at a time is disappointing - guess I blame apple for thier dorky
reluctance to give us useful information on how thier machines work.
Good luck,
jcarr
ps: where is the patch??????????
