Hi,

Here's the problems i've encountered during the
unsuccessful installation of NetBSD 1.1 on an
Hp-Apollo model 433 motherboard ref. A1421, 68040
with 32 Mb of memory, a 660 Mb Micropolis 1558T SCSI disk.

1) Booting  SYS_INST from the archive/viper works
fine, disklabel too.

2)I was unable copying miniroot from an NFS server,
the normal (usual way), but after a direct connection with
the NFS server, a minimal "net" of 2 machines the NFS server
and the target on thin coax, works fine.

3) Booting the miniroot seemed ok, but at the prompt
each time i hit the keyboard i obtain garbage, something like
^k@\P###@@@@@, all the time. However i have a french flavor (alas)
of the HP-IL keyboard, apart form the finger twiddling of z,q,a etc..
worked normally during disklabel phase, may be the difference
between french and US keyboard is deeper than the label of the keys ?

4) I've tried to configure the Hp-Apollo for remote console using
RS-232C and C-ITOH terminal (US KBD), everything seems to worked
fine but when i boot the miniroot i obtain the following:

The regent of the Universtray interrupt, sr 0x2500
stray interrupt, sr 0x2500
stray interrupt, sr 0x2500
stray interrupt, sr 0x2500
stray interrupt, sr 0x2500
stray interrupt, sr 0x2500
stray interrupt, sr 0x2500
stray interrupt, sr 0x2500

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance.
