Greetings,

I tried to install NetBSD 1.6 on an HP Vectra VL/5 (Pentium 200, 32M RAM).
I used boot1.fs and boot2.fs written to a couple of floppies, it reads the
first floppy during boot, reads the second, then stops with the error:

panic: uvm_page_physload: start >= end

So I tried the equivalent 1.5.3 boot floppies which booted fine, and I
installed the 1.6 sets off a local FTP server (after renaming kern.tgz which
seems to be the only set with a different filename between 1.5.3 and 1.6),
everything *appeared* to install ok, but when I tried to reboot it only got
so far and stopped with the same error.

A Google search said something about memory segments starting on a 16M
boundary, and had a patch for the respective source file (i386/machdep.c),
but that doesn't help as I can't get it to boot at all.

Is there a workaround for this?
