Hi folks,

I installed plex86 from pkgsrc (emulators/plex86) on 1.5:

# $NetBSD: Makefile,v 1.11 2000/12/17 17:43:18 tron Exp $
DISTNAME=       plex86-20001216
PKGNAME=        plex86-0.20001216

and tried to run it, however without much success:

# plex86
Processing command-line options
Opening VM (/dev/plex86)
Initializing plugins
Running VM
ioctl MESSSAGEQ: : Invalid argument
Shutting down plugins
Unmapping guest physical memory.
Unmapping monitor print buffer.
munmap of monitor print buffer.: Invalid argument

The module is loaded and the netbsd_post.sh has been properly
executed (and SysV IPC is also in the kernel, dunno if plex86
requires it but the above looks like it.)
The device node that was created looks like the following:
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  29, 0 Jan  2 04:50 /dev/plex86

Did anybody encounter the above failure behaviour and found
a way to resolve the problem?
