Ok. I'll try some obvious comments once more, but I'm ready to give up. On 2013-01-13 17:11, Holm Tiffe wrote:

So, there are no use of it. To get the SGEC to work everything is already there; you only need to:Ok, you say it, I'll try to get the stuff out again. But then I must connect that scn driver to the mainbus?
That whole thing is just software anyway, so what is the problem?
Ok, I'm back. Fixed that VAXstation Thing in locore.c: Is it ok this way? NetBSD 6.0 (RTVAX300-test) #171: Sun Jan 13 14:07:20 CET 2013 holm%beast.freibergnet.de@localhost:/home/holm/tmp/netbsd/root6/usr/src/sys/arch/vax/compile/RTVAX Embedded VAX rtVAX 300 total memory = 16380 KB avail memory = 13064 KBAll VAXen get (and use) the size of the internal memory they get from the RPB, passed up by the boot loader. The RPB is setup by the firmware, so it should be correct. It also provide the system with bad block information, which is currently unhandled on vax. If it isn't, the kernel can count the memory itself. Just comment out the size check from rpb in locore and then everything will be fine :-) -- RaggeDon't call me penetrant, bu what the heck ist that RPB, where it is located and how the kerenel accesses it? I read something about RPB or faked PRB, but it isn't so that there where any comment that maked me know more now..
You know, I posted a link to the VAX Architecture Reference Manual quite a few posts ago. I would suggest you read it. That will answer this, and many other questions.
Remeber: Mouse and I couldn't find the correct etry point for the ROM Console..the data structures on that thing aren't really good documented.
I can't comment much on your specific board, but the console drivers as such are mentioned in the same VARM. I don't remember exactly to what detail right now, but it's at least worth checking out.
2nd: The _start() in locore.c:
/*
* Start is called from boot; the first routine that is called
* in kernel. Kernel stack is setup somewhere in a safe place;
* but we need to move it to a better known place. Memory
* management is disabled, and no interrupt system is active.
*/
void
_start(struct rpb *prpb)
{
...isn't called from ROM code, it is called from my own hacked thogether
standalone netbsd bootloader...don't think that his informations are
correct. Good alone know how I set variables there to boot something :-)
Are you saying that you did not use the normal VAX NETBSD bootloader, with just some modifications by you? How did you even figure out where the start entrypoint is in your bootloader?
