HI all,
netboot-intstalling a SS4 to 2.0 Beta I run into trouble.
Everythings run fine until I hit

> a: Set size of NetBSD partitions

Then the next screen apears.
Yust before some partition data is shown, I get a foating
point exception.

Same procedure with 1.6.1.

I'm  sure this is due to the fact, that the disk is a format NextSTEP3.3 
for sparc systems. I.e. it carries a valid sun disklabel with all partitions
of length zero.

Triying to solve this issue, i did a

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 

which should at least make the disk label invalid - right?

But this does not help. Same result as above. Please help! Im out of ideas now.

Andreas
