I have just finnished the installation of NetBSD 1.1 for sparc on
my standalone IPX (no network). Problem is, whenever the OS reads or
writes to the stock SCSI disk (sd@3,0), ie a sun 424, it pulls ot a
strange error, either
empty FIFO of 1 dma0 : erroremty FIFO of 1 dma0 : error ..... etc
or
empty FIFO of 16 dma0 : errorempty FIFO of 16 dma0 : ....etc
or both thing mixed
Other than this it runs fine ....
Also, on boot , it complaints that the cache controller chip is
buggy in some way :
cpu0: cache chip bug; trap page uncached
Is this serious ?
Is my hardware fleaky ?
Worried, i ran the sun diagnostics under SunOS, but they checked fine ...
Please, any input is welcome, either to

Many regard
