NetBSD 8.1 on PB 550c

[userm57%yahoo.com@localhost]

Hello,

I installed NetBSD 8.1 (using the sysinst method) on a PowerBook 550c.
SCSI, ADB and SONIC Ethernet all appear to work. The installation was on
the internal disk using a 640 MB root partition and a 40 MB swap
partition.  I'm using a custom installation without X11 or man pages; I
haven't modified any of the startup scripts yet.  The system is booting
using the default GENERICSBC kernel.

The problem is that I'm getting a consistent kernel crash at every
shutdown; see example entries from /var/log/messages below -- the crash
appears to be related to an MMU issue:

Feb 10 06:14:16 Blackbird /netbsd: panic: MMU fault

The PB 550c should be roughly equivalent to a Centris 650, except
slightly faster.  I haven't tried installing on a Centris 650 yet.

On a side note, is anyone able to confirm that the traditional
installation method still doesn't work?  I think it stopped working in
NetBSD 7.  The issue was that the ffs filesystem created by Mkfs in
MacOS wasn't recognized by NetBSD (plus installation was limited to the
first 1 GB of a disk).

thanks for any suggestions

-Stan Johnson
