Hi,
I am trying to install NetBSD on my 9500 (with a G4 upgrade). In fact, I managed to install the system but I am unable to boot it from open firmware.
Right after installing NetBSD on my hard drive, I tried to boot from open firmware but the computer seemed to freeze at this point :
0 > boot scsi-int/@2:0 netbsd
OF_open bootpath=scsi-int/@2
read stage 2 blocks: 01 I restarted the computer and it didn't freeze this time but I got this error :
0 > boot scsi-int/@2:0 netbsd
OF_open bootpath=scsi-int/@2
read stage 2 blocks: 0123. done!
starting stage 2...
DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00700
ok If I try to boot again, without restarting the computer, I get this message :
0 > boot scsi-int/@2:0 netbsd CLAIM failed
ok I made sure to set load-base and real-base as described on the documentation.
Has anyone ever had this error with NetBSD on a ppc mac?

Hello,
Its nice to see someone else venturing forth into lands unknown! These machines can be a bear to get going with NetBSD. Have you use system disk to patch open firmware?
