Ok, found the problem....
It didn't like IRQ15. I have reconfigured it to use IRQ5 and it works
now. Also IRQ15 isn't used on my system it didn't want to know about
it :(
Sysinfo: NetBSD-1.2B, Octek Rhino 9, Cyrix 686-P120+, cyclom-8yo.
Here my configuration for the cyclades card:
cy0 at isa? iomem 0xda000 irq 5
thanks all for your help
cheerio Berndt
