I got the image off of the netbsd.org iso server and then burned it
using Apple's Disk Burn. I selected ISO 96xxx (MP3 Format) and then
mounted the image and copied the stuff over. In the file->get info
window, it says the CD is ISO... I have no idea what I'm really
doing.... Any help is really needed and appreciated.

Here's what I did and what I got back:

0 > setenv boot-file NETBSD.MACPPC  ok
0 > setenv boot-device scsi/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0  ok
0 > boot RESETing SCSI bus (CD ROM's busy light flashes on and off)
RESETing SCSI bus
RESETing SCSI bus
can't LOAD from this device
 ok
0 >

Typing "words scsi/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0" gives me many options, so I know that the
device is supported. 

Any ideas?


Thanks so much! Patrick
