NetBSD hangs while executing /sbin/init in IBM 405 GP eval board.

[mindentropy <mindentropy%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi All,

    I have a IBM 405GP evaluation board. I tried installing NetBSD on it. 
NetBSD boots the walnut image properly and I am prompted for a boot 
device(seletected emac0) and root filesystem(selected nfs). After that it gives 
me the correct information of the ip address of the device etc and ip and nfs 
information of the server. After that it gives a warning of no /dev/console. 
It prompts for a /sbin/init execution. After I return it just hangs there.

To debug I tried to see what files its pulling from NFS and the last file it 
queries and fails is libc.so.

The whole problem described above happens in version 5.1

I tried other versions too and went upto 3.0. In release 3.0 it does not take 
any keyboard input for some reason. 4.0 suffers the same problem but I could 
see MAKEDEV getting requested from NFS.

Please provide some hints on fixing this.

Thanks.
