Hi,
A few days ago I had asked for help in upgrading an i486 from NetBSD 0.9
to 1.0. I have managed to upgrade - thanks to all those who responded.

Now I have another bug  - 
When the upgrade program asked me if I wanted my filesystem upgraded,
I replied in the affirmative. That caused a fatal error and there was
a message saying that I should reboot, do a manual fsck and try the
upgrade process again. 
However, my box refused to boot from the hard disk. Lacking any other options
I started the upgrade process again, did Not upgrade the file system
and went on to extract all the binaries I wanted. 

Finally, after smoothing out a few other things I got the OS functioning
well :-) (so it seemed).
Now when I try to do an 
>fsck -c 2  
(or even a plain 
>fsck
as I found out later)  

I get a message

>aha0:DMA beyond end of ISA
>sd0:not queued

The file systems on my disk are as follows

% df
Filesystem  512-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd0a       126686    37186    76830    33%    /
kernfs               2        2        0   100%    /kern
/dev/sd0e       734940   256792   404654    39%    /usr
%

Can somebody tell me what is wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Avneesh
