Re: 981223 snapshot halts after kernel load
Tsubai's hunch was on the mark, and a kernel without the framebuffer
worked on my '3410. (FYI, the machine has a NWB-252 fb.)
Painful discoveries made during the rest of the installation:
* all the /dev files had to be created
The easiest way I found to handle this was to munge .profile (from
NEWSOS) to "(cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV)". Until this was done, I couldn't
fsck or go single-user on tty0. Maybe a "/etc/rc.firsttime" ?
* ROM monitor doesn't like NetBSD-created disklabels at all.
Otherwise, everything is now up and running, and I have a nice, happy
NetBSD/newsmips system. :) (Sans running it off a Zip drive..)
