GENERIC.MP kernel not booting

[Mehul Sanghvi <mehul.sanghvi%gmail.com@localhost>]

System information:

Hello,

  I’ve recently installed  NetBSD 9.0 and yesterday upgraded it to 9.1 using ‘sysupgrade’.  In both cases, I am unable to boot from the MP kernel. 

   I do not have much configured on the system outside of SSH and using SSLH.   My questions are as follows:

    1.  Is this a known issue ? 
    2.  Are there workarounds I can try ? 
    3.  How do I collect the information and where can I upload it to ?  Bug tracking ?  Something else? 
     4.  Is there any extra diagnostics I can enable to collect more information that would be helpful to folks ? 


My background:   After 20+ years with Linux, switched to FreeBSD a couple of years ago.  After reviving my PowerMac a couple of weeks ago, installed NetBSD 9.0 on it as FBSD was not working properly on it, I’m forgetting the exact issue.  

I may need NetBSD specific instructions as I’m still exploring it during my spare time, but am willing to work through this and resolve MP kernel issues. 

cheers,

      mehul
