getting netbsd 1.6 to work on a sparc20 woes...
i downloaded and burned the iso. the installation was pretty straight forward. evenything seemed alright.
however, after the install reboot, i get a "Data Access Exception" error and then the system exits to the "ok" prompt.
i tried finding something about this everywhere... but what i found wasn't at all helpful. i then posted to the port-sparc group and i was told to tell the system which disk and partition to boot from. i tried that, but again, nothing.
anyone have any idea how to resolve this one?
