Sorry for jumping in without lurking for a few days, but I've searched
the Usenet archives and not found any answers to this problem, which I
am sure many of you have already fixed on your machines.


I just installed NetBSD on a syquest 200 drive attached to centris 650
with 40 megs of ram running system 7.5.5.  The Mkfs and installation
seemed to go well but when I try to boot (booter 1.9) NetBSD, I get a
system crash and have to reboot.  It does this when set at 8 bit or 1
bit color depth.  


I get a couple of errors.  The first is "error on SCSIRead(), #5" and
the comes right before I get a command line screen (where the machine
crashes).


The second error message does not always appear to be the same
(sometimes I get the panic part others not) but it says:

"panic: Address error

Stopped at _Debugger+0x6: unlk a6"


and then I get the command line:

"db>"


but can't elicit any repsonse from the machine at that point.  This
happens with no inits installed (the panic message may be init
dependant). 


Other info:  I am running a kensington trackball and the listing below
is the log written from the booter:

</excerpt><<<<<<<<



In the Installation instructions there is a statement that you need to
do something special if you are going to install NetBSD on a syquest
and to read the faq to find out what it is.  I've been through the faq
and haven't found anything on what you have to do to work off a syquest
drive.  Anybody know what you have to do?


Sorry for such a long mssg, but I figgered more info is better than
less.  Any help would be appreciated.


TIA
