I just tried to install NetBSD 1.5 on my Mac IIci.  It has 17MB of RAM and a 
230 MB hard drive.  I get a nonfatal seg fault everytime I boot up that says 
something about ficticious disk geometry and everytime it says to run fsck 
and reboot then when I reboot it says to run fsck again..  When I boot into 
multiuser mode it goes through full bootup and gets to a line that says the 
date and time but I never get a login prompt or a shell prompt.  I am new to 
BSD, I have some experience with linux on my iMac.  Any comments would be 
appreciated.  Also I used the installer to install all of the packages from 
mac os.  Is this recomended?  Or should I just install the base, etc, and 
kernel from installer then install the others from within BSD?  I don't have 
a CD drive for the IIci so I copied the 1.5 files from the CD to a syjet disk 
could this cause any trouble?
