Hello again...

  Since I got no response to my last message, I am trying one last desperate bid
for a solution <grin>...

  I am trying to install NetBSD, following the install.amiga guide, and running into
trouble when it comes to mounting the AmigaDOS partition where the distribution sets
are living.  Basically, I can format the root & user partitions on the drive, and
I can mount the AmigaDOS partition with (say)

mkdir /mnt/ados
mount_ados /dev/sd1d /mnt/ados

If I actually try and use the AmigaDOS partition (to CD, grab a directory listing etc.
let alone actually extract the distributions), I get checksum errors all the time.
he AmigaDOS partition(s) in question patently *do not* have any filesystem errors, I
have checked them very thoughroughly indeed from the miggy side :*).  I have tried
to mount partitions freshly formatted, on the same physical drive as the NetBSD
partitions, on a different physical drive, formatted with both 1.3 and 2.04 FFS etc.
to no avail...


My system is....
too :*).  Processor is CSA-Derringer 030+8881 @ 50MHz.  NetBSD uses the 4MB 32bit
RAM on the Derringer, but also recognises the 3MB of 16bit (1MB chip) on the main

I forget the exact format of the checksum errors, they were in my previous post :*)

Thanks in advance....
