Booting an 8650.

[Johnny Billquist <bqt%softjar.se@localhost>]

I thought I'd drop a question by here, in case someone has any ideas...

Booting a VAX 8650 has become broken at some point. Using an old boot 
block and boot program from January 2006 works fine. Using -current does 
not work fine.
At the moment, the kernel and everything else is running fine (if we 
disregard the abmysal performance of "modern" NetBSD), but boot have 
become broken.

Does anyone know what have been changed? I notice that -current boot and 
bootblock works fine on a 4000/90 I have.

I'm going to start digging into this, but if anyone have any ideas or 
suggested, I would be very interested to hear about them.

The results right now with a -current /boot:

>>>boo bsd
        G 0E 00000200

        CPU stopped, CPU-REBOOT REQUESTED (CSM code 06)
        PC 00000003
>>>

If that gives anyone a clue, that would be nice. Looks like it becomes 
really lost somewhere...

Any suggestion on things to test, try, code or experiment on are 
welcome, as are any suggestions on what code to start fooling around with.
