Greetings,
I've just added two disks to my NetBSD machine (a Centris 650).
sd0 is partitioned; a=root&usr, g=usr.
sd1 is a single usr partition (g)
sd2 is a single usr partition (g)
If I boot into single-user mode, type "mount -a", and then exit, it
continues to boot into multi-user mode and everything works just fine.
However, if I try to boot straight into multi-user mode, allowing the disks
to mount themselves, the system hangs after announcing that /dev/rsd0g is
clean and won't be checked. Usually it simply hangs silently, but last
time I got the following error:
Panic: pmap_alloc_pv:pgi_nfree inconsistent
Stopped at _Debugger+0x6:unlk 96
All filesystems are clean; they all function perfectly if I mount them
manually before entering multi-user mode. Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Bill

In fact, when you get right down to it, almost every explanation
Man came up with for *anything* until about 1926 was stupid.
