System: NetBSD di_frueauf 1.2A NetBSD 1.2A (CYBERDYNE) #0: Thu Oct 24 18:21:14 GMT 1996 milano@di_frueauf:/usr/src/sys/arch/amiga/compile/CYBERDYNE amiga

Amiga 3000 equiped with Cyberstorm MK II (68060 50 Mhz), Picasso II, Ariadne
Ethernet, 2 + 16 + 32 MB RAM

>Description:
	
`loadbsd netbsd` normally switches immediatly to the configured console, and
normal startup messages begin. But on my machine (see above) with NetBSD current
from 23.10.1996 `loadbsd netbsd` switches to a gray screen - "waits" 10 seconds
and switches to Picasso CIRRUS console and starts normal startup messages.
I wonder what the machine does in those 10 seconds, this was not the case
with NetBSD 1.2 release (same machine).

>How-To-Repeat:
	
Get an Amiga with above equipment and start a NetBSD/amiga current kernel
from 23.10.1996.

>Fix:
	
Sorry, really don't know, but if other A3000 user don't see the problem, I
would start to blame the 060 first, but maybe some debug code was not
removed that causes this delay. Reaaly don't know.
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
loading a NetBSD/amiga kernal has a 10 sec delay until the console appears
