I've been lurking until the IIvx was "working", now I've tried it and:
I've not been so lucky (yet) :-( It always hangs writing/after the line:
ser1 at mainbus0
This line of text is chopped off (only the upper half is visible). I've
tried in as many bit depths as possible, in 8 bit it didn't print this line,
but I got a black square where the first 's' would be, 16 bit crashes the
machine while MacOS is still visible.
My setup:
IIvx with 12MB RAM
1MB VRAM (NetBSD "forces" this down to 512K)
System 7.5.1
32-bit addressing turned on
booting netbsd.IIvx7 from MacOS on a LaCie 170MB disk, partitioned
with SilverLining.
I have "grey bars" turned on, single-user mode. I haven't seen any "grey
bars" - I'm not sure at what point of the boot process they would appear...
I'll try booting through a serial cable after I find the info on how to
do that.
Any clues?
Cheers,
Keith
