Rick, consult the installation docs:-) < HDToolBox wants a filename to define a new dostype> You _don't_ need a dostype (i.e. AmigaOS filesystem) on NetBSD partitions when You don't want to access them by AmigaOS. Even that is done by bffs in the NetBSD distribution. The changes in HDToolbox restrict to: [Partition Drive], create your partitions /root, swap and /usr, give them _any_ name (the slash is not accepted). For EVERY partition click [advanced options] and file system [change…]. There seelct [Custom File System], enter the correct identifier (_this_ is essential!! for NetBSD to recognize the partition), select NO [Automount], Block Size [512], reserved block **0** at beginning and end, use NO [custom Boot code]. Double-check the entries. [Save changes to Drive]. [Exit].(will require a reboot). The partitions identifiers are listed in the docs. They depend on the Version You want to install. If You're unsure, here they are: root 0x4e425207 (in Ascii: NBR\7) swap 0x4e425301 ( NBS\1) other (/usr,/local…) 0x4e425507 ( NBU\7) good luck:-) Dieter Goettmann jetting on AP1.80 from Karlsruhe, Germany
