From all messages I distilled the following (keeping in mind that the hardware setup had worked many times this way before) : 1 It isn't the host MacOS, but something with the disc. 2 Mt Everything could be a solution. I suddenly remember that I used to use a 200 MB disc before I got the 2 GB

( A.S. I'm a newbie with Macs. I actually bought some Macs in the last year to put NetBSD on them for a OS compilerfarm. But believe me, I *am* trying to understand MacOS :-) The IIci requires MacOS, so I boot through MacOS to get to BSD. The other Mac is a PMac 4400 running NetBSD. I'd be
