@Stephen over on OpenRetro SCSI discord mentioned it'd be neat if someone made a premade NetBSD 9.2 .hda file for Ra/BlueSCSI. This was something that was on my TODO list as I already created some A/UX images so I thought I'd be a quick, and easy process...
First I thought I'd try installing it via Basalisk II as that'd speed things up. But it seems it needs a "real" SCSI device to find the partitions on so that was out.
Then I thought I'd try it on my Quadra 950 - got the installer to start, but the Keyboard didn't work - turns out the Q950 is not compatible due the keyboard...
Ok, fine, lets get the SE/30 out. But I couldn't get it to boot in 32bit mode due to a 24bit color video card in it.
Classic II is on the compatibility list and I do have an FPU in it, so lets try that... except I only had 4mb of RAM (needs 10mb min)
Went rummaging in the back and found my IIci - took a peak inside and noticed I hadn't re-capped it... So lets recap it, why not!
Finally installing it following the Traditional Method (they should really list this one first!) and it locked up after installing for a few minutes.
Thought the OS was corrupted or something so I used the Apple Legacy Recovery CD to install 7.1... which doesn't have CD drivers, and the disk image on the ALR CD has a currupted Apple CD Software image... Luckily I could get them easily via RaSCSI download file to HFS ISO.
Still crashing while installing. That's when I noticed the IIci Cache card has 2 bad caps on it too! GAH! Don't have any replacements so I'll just take that out.
Now we're an hour into the multi hour install (read after that just the base will take 2 hours, i selected everything...) - will update when once I'm through this step!
