CD-ROM NOTE: If you are installing from a CD-ROM, sysinst may have
problems mounting the CD-ROM. NetBSD/pmax uses the same devices for
CD-ROMs as it does hard disks, so you need to specifiy "rzX" (where
X is the SCSI id of the CD-ROM) as the device, not "cdX" as in other
NetBSD ports. Also note that sysinst doesn't expect a partition - just
the base device. If you still have problems, you can try issuing the
following command before starting sysinst
CD-ROM INSTALLATION NOTE: If you are installing from a CD-ROM, sysinst
will offer you a default choice of "cd0" for the CD-ROM device. Unlike
other NetBSD ports, NetBSD/pmax currently uses the same device driver
for both hard disks and CD-ROMs. You will need to specify "rzX" (where
X is the SCSI id of the CD-ROM) as the CD-ROM device. Also note that
sysinst doesn't expect a partition - just the base device. If you still
have problems, you can try issuing the following command before starting
sysinst
