Great!

Hmmm. maybe a less favourable..... I can mail you the sources :-)) Or a PD
ftp client will do? But if it'll help you? How would you like to compile
it... 

I've been stuk at the same problem once. I tried to boot a NetBSD 1.4
kernel on my ARM7 machine, and it failed due to some wierd problem with a
page being set read-only during booting. I've found no real means to debug
it other that trying to print messages until I found the point were it
crashed.

Mark did solve the mistery. Hi Mark! Could you give us a clue how to debug
this kind of stuff ??
