Hello All:
I just finished installing NetBSD/Sparc on my Sparcstation IPX, and
I "believe" I did everything according to the instructions. I am installing
it on my second external drive (/dev/rsd1) from an existing SunOS system,
and I managed to boot to netbsd without any problems. But I am getting a LOT
of this message on the console, and finally it kept on printing it non-stop:
dma0: errorempty FIFO of 1 empty FIFO of 16
The only thing I can think of is problem with partitioning the disk :} I am
not very femilier with the partition system using 'format'.. here is what I
have now (whihc may be totally wrong):
partition> pr
Current partition table (original sd1):
partition a - starting cyl 0, # blocks 28140 (89/3/0)
partition b - starting cyl 90, # blocks 44310 (140/6/0)
partition c - starting cyl 0, # blocks 398160 (1264/0/0)
partition d - starting cyl 0, # blocks 0 (0/0/0)
partition e - starting cyl 0, # blocks 0 (0/0/0)
partition f - starting cyl 0, # blocks 0 (0/0/0)
partition g - starting cyl 141, # blocks 353850 (1123/3/0)
partition h - starting cyl 0, # blocks 0 (0/0/0)
I am also getting this message at boot time:
dma0: erro /dev/rsd1g: CANNOT WRITE: BLK 16
Can anyone please tell me what I am doind wrong, and how I can fix
it?
Thanks a lot
