hy,

i try to install Netbsd on a SS10 with two 1xGB disks, but there is a
big problem:

on sd@3 runs Solaris, the other disk is formated and partitioned. I did
the following:

i loaded the miniroot via ftp to my linux-pc, than i made a gunzip
(under linux) and than i transfered all the files to my SS10, than i
made "dd if=... of=/swap_partion_2ndDisk bs=32k and i get the record-in
an out message, and everything looks fine!

but: i cant boot from this partition with "boot disk swap_partition" and
i don´t know why!!??? it alway writes the same massages:
file not executable
Bad filename
...
its Bootprom Vers. 2

what went wrong ??
please help me - SOS

Issue the following command at the OpenBoot OK prompt:

OK printenv

what is "boot-file" set to?
