Installing #NetBSD 11 on my (emulated) #Amiga.

This Amiberry config closely mimics my physical Amiga 4000/040, including the A4091 SCSI controller, CyberVision 64 and Kickstart 3.2.

Now, how do I get X11R7 to work? Apparently, the old Xamiga server is no longer supported.

Don't know what's going on as I've never had an issue in 20+ years dd an image to a usb but for some reason #NetBSD 10.1 image won't run up when selected it says root not found. Yet I have managed to get it to run the installer twice. I've tried like 6 times and re done the usb image. Going to try another USB memory stick just incase but I know this one would work with #FreeBSD .

bsdfetch is a simple tool to show information about a running #FreeBSD / #OpenBSD / #MidnightBSD / #NetBSD / #DragonflyBSD system.
