Hi, folks. I'm working with a Multia (off the serial console) and
have a couple of questions...
1. I've installed the 1.4.1 snapshot from ftp.netbsd.org. When doing a
couple of 'tar zxpf <foo>' commands (in sequence, not in parallel),
I got:
ncr0:0: ERROR (0:91) (9-ae-0) (8/13) @ (script 6cc:19001c00).
ncr0: script cmd = 89030000
ncr0: regdump: da 10 80 13 47 08 00 1f 03 09 80 ae 80 00 06 00.
ncr0: have to clear fifos.
ncr0: restart (fatal error).
sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @0xfffffe0000031400.
ncr0: timeout ccb=0xfffffe0000031400 (skip)
It doesn't seem to have recovered yet, if it's going to.
2. When I reboot or halt (at least, after a floppy boot), I get dumped
into a low-level monitor mode. Is this abnormal? What can I do to
avoid that? What can I do, once I'm there, to reset/reboot the
machine (other than walking around to the machine and cycling power)?
Thanks for any help.
