Hmm.
I just built a current kernel for sun4m and sun4c.
The 4m kernel boots fine. The 4c kernel hangs at root on sd0, but I can
L1-A it.
This reminded me of a problem that I had a while ago, so I tried something.
I took removed the floppy disk driver from my config file, made a kernel
and this booted fine on my IPX.
I would assume then that something in the fd driver is hanging the kernel?
Hmm, I just thought of something else, reboot needed...
Neil.
