1.3 NetBSD problems.
I currently rund NetBSD-arm32 1.2 fine, kernel is voyager 5328.
Cumana SCSI works, EtherM makes no difference. I can read IDE disks.
This does not apply to NetBSD-arm32 1.3
IDE
It would have helped to mention that bb_riscbsd must be run
in order for IDE to work.
ANT EtherM
The kernel stops at the line
"em0: 16KB buffer memory. UTP"
When I remove my EtherM cards, this does not happen.
The EtherM card is an ethernet card for the RiscPC,
with both BNC and RJ-45 connector, i.e. both
10Base T and 2.
SCSI
None of my SCSI devices are detected. I use a Cumana SCSI card,
and the kernels don't get it.
INSTALL GUIDE
Headlines to mark passages would be nice.
And why is there so much fuss about CD-ROM, FLOPPY, TAPE, and NET
installation? I would guess that most people get the sets with
modem, and thus it would be easiest to use UnixFS to transfer
the sets. Floppies are pure torture.
Besides, the install guide is big and confusing.
What has become of the guide Kjetil B. Thomassen wrote?
I am currently booting, but have problems with /etc/rc.conf
and multiuser boot.
