Good luck! > > > - Hubert Well, I just tried the floppy images for the first time. they want to "install NetBSD" and after I feed in all 3 floppy disks of the floppy set, I'm prompted to supply a "root". I had no idea what this refers to, but being dumb I typed a root value of wd0a just to see what would happen, and was rewarded with a message that it couldn't mount the root. It doesn't seem very G4U-ish at all. I had tested this on my wife's computer because it is one of the few in the house that has a floppy drive and I want to be sure of having good floppy images.
