I got done installing NetBSD on my Performa 600, set up everything
correctly (I think), and then ran the booter. Everything seemed to go
fine, until I typed 'ps -aux' Then, this scrolled continuousley on my
screen:
Unexpected phase change.

14 waiting for interrupt
etc.
After pounding on my keyboard for a good 30 seconds, I finally got to:
Panic switch: PC is 0x14a358.
Stopped in savecore at _Debugger+0x6: unlk a6
db>
That's where the comp. freezes, and I have to restart.
It happens at different places with every attempt: sometimes when trying
to list a folder, sometimes when in vi, etc.
Occasionally, they arn't infinite either... but usually they are.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Anyone have any fixes?
This "use NetBSD for three minutes then reboot thing" is getting pretty
annoying.
Thanks for your time.
