I was able to get my system to automatically boot from my drive with:/usr/mdec/installboot -v /usr/mdec/biosboot.sym /dev/rwd0fNotice that I used the "f" partition this time. My wd0a was at offset 6331248; the wd0f was at offset 63. I realized I was trying to install the boot program to the wrong disklabel area before. * I should probably add a note to the installboot manual page. (See 20/Nov/2000 and 07/Sep/2001.)
A few years ago, I was first introduced to NetBSD, mostly to help move a website from a Debian Linux box to a NetBSD server. This move included a CGI. So I was given super-user administrator permission via "sudo" to install Apache with Suexec support; plus I installed a couple website usage analysis programs. The first thing I found was that "cron" by default had its default (root) config under /var/cron instead of /etc/crontab.
