But as it turns out, if I wait for a few minutes, NetBSD 4.0 actually boots past the point where I had previously noted that it freezes. It gets up until it prints this line:
scsibus0: waiting 2 seconds for devices to settle... At that point I left it for maybe 20 minutes and it didn't get any further.

As described above, the 4.0 kernel appears to have a bug. It's not clear ifit's just my hardware, but I suspect this will happen on any TT030. Asdescribed in my previous mail, the 4.0 kernel locks up on boot after "kbd0at mainbus0".Can you get ddb(4) prompt at that point? <Alt>-<LeftShift>-<F9> might invoke it as noted in ddb(4) man page. --- Izumi Tsutsui
