>Description:
NetBSD-current's i386 bootblock doesn't work on an ASUS CUBX
motherboard any more. It simply gets stuck before the 2nd stage loader
prompts for the boot options. I've rewritten the bootblocks with
"installboot" and tried a Promise ULTRA 100 instead of the onboard
CMD 0648 IDE hostadapter but it didn't help. But since I finally
replaced the NetBSD-current boot blocks with NetBSD 1.6.1_STABLE ones
- the motherboard was running 1.6.1_STABLE before - the system boots
from the harddisk fine again. So there is a serious regression in the
bootloaders caused by changes made after NetBSD 1.6 was released.

Here is the "dmesg" output for the affected system:

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to boot NetBSD-current with 1.6U bootblocks on an ASUS CUBX.

>Fix:
Using NetBSD 1.6.1_STABLE bootblock fixed the problem.
