NetBSD squid 1.4 NetBSD 1.4 (SQUID) #0: Sun May 16 17:46:40 EST 1999     root@squid:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/SQUID i386
FIC 503+ motherboard, AMD K6
not sure of manufacturer but ethernet card labelled SN-5100TX REV-A1 using VIA VT86C100A chip. Running on 10BaseT
>Description:
using the netatalk pkg, start atalkd to create atalkd.conf
after about 15 seconds: pool_get must have NOWAIT

gross trace (can reproduce to fill in detail)

when continuing, got wddump: DMA error retrying. Unlikely to be related?

>Fix:
change ethernet card; de (Accton 1207) works tho' nbplkup fails ca 20% of the time
