>Release: May 16, 1996.
>Environment:
sun 4/110 w/ 16MB and 312MB SCSI.
>Description:
Booting a kernel (from disk or net) that is using the scsi
disk as root, the machine stops after "root on sd0a" message.
If the kernel has ddb/debug/diagnostic, it prints this:
Process (pid 1) received signal 11
(this is printed continously)
Booting the same kernel with root on nfs works fine.
This problem appeared with the sun4m integration.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to boot a 4/110 from SCSI disk.
>Fix:
I don't have one.
