I am trying to install -CURRENT (2 days old) on a 12" Powerbook G4 over
ethernet.
The installing server is NetBSD.
First try:
0 > boot enet:,loader
CLIENT: {MAC} 192.168.1.10
SERVER: fffffffffff 0.0.0.0
Transfer FILE: loader -
TFTP LOAD TimeOutload-size=200 adler32=e97f8114
Loading ELF
Invalid memory access at %SRR0: 01c009d0 %SRR1: 00083030
ok
>
2nd try:
0 > boot enet:,loader hd:58
CLIENT: {MAC} 192.168.1.10
SERVER: fffffffffff 0.0.0.0
Transfer FILE: loader -
TFTP LOAD TimeOutload-size=200 adler32=e97f8114
Loading ELF
Decrementer exception at %SRR0: 01c009d0 %SRR1: 00083030
ok

I have the same loader on Powerbook's first (HFS) partition.
0 > boot hd:loader hd:58
gets me to memmap.
I'm trying a netboot because the Powerbook's SuperDrive is dead.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
