Hi Jochen,
Thanks for all your help.
I am quite prepared to loan my machine to somebody to help in getting =
it running, if that is what is needed.=20
I am based in Leicestershire in the UK.
Hopefully somebody out there has "The Clue" that is needed to help.
Thanks Again,
Andrew.

There is already support for the CPU, host- and ISA-bridge in port =

NetBSD.=20

OK. Interrupt routing trouble. Depending on the hardware there may be a =

I have done some work in that area of port-prep / port-ofppc, so I know =
a bit what is going on. But I am no kernel hacking expert, I am still a =

some remote console access for him?=20

Hmm. Don't know how to trace this.=20
