clean 1.6.2 downloaded from ftp.netbsd.org, shark with
firmware:
DNARD Rev. 5, 08:00:2b:81:60:70 , 32 MB memory
Open Firmware Built February 25, 1998 17:19:25

(also tried some later-dated FW, same result)
>Description:
the NetBSD 1.6.2 INSTALL kernel for the shark Data Aborts
when booting (right after load), like:
DNARD Rev. 5, 08:00:2b:81:60:70 , 32 MB memory
Open Firmware Built February 25, 1998 17:19:25

ok boot net:,netbsd_INSTALL_162
Boot device: /isa/ethernet:,netbsd_INSTALL_162 Arguments:
Data Abort
Doing the same with a 1.6 kernel, or a 2.0-branch kernel works OK.
(1.6.1 also crashes similarly to 1.6.2.)
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
I can easily test fixes (assuming people provide me pre-built kernels
to try).

unknown
