I just got them from the archives. I still don't know how I could get
unsubscribed to this mailing list, I am quite sure I didn't do it!
Anyway, I resubscribed and just hope it won't happen again (hope it
wouldn't have happened to some others either).
To your problems:
- Memory troubles:
I am quite sure it must be something in your hardware configuration.
I tried myself using NetBSD with 2Mb ST and 4Mb TT ram, this worked
ok. The only thing I can't test is 20Mb TT ram. I tried to put
a new loadbsd on sun-lamp that would allow you to decrease TT
memory, but the connection was very bad, so I'll mail it to you
personally and put it on lamp tomorrow. Just try fiddling with
the '-T' option. I found out there is some constant limit
on the 'Sysptesize'. Because memory on the Atari is segmented
your 20Mb TT ram yields a maximum physical address of 46Mb.
I can imagine someone putting the maximum to 32Mb. Most part
of the VM-system I copied without looking at it so I might
miss something there.
- /dev/rsd0e not found:
As you assigned a partition to use as swap just before the
error, I assume that you are using the former 'sd0d' partition
as a swap partition now. You just hit one of the pitfalls in
the NetBSD partition sceme! The previous 'd' partition has
shifted to 'b' (swap) and the previous 'e' partition has
become 'd'.
Thats all for now, lets you if I get to back through the mailing list!
