Hi, folks.  I'm working with a Multia (off the serial console) and
have a couple of questions...

1. I've installed the 1.4.1 snapshot from ftp.netbsd.org.  When doing a
   couple of 'tar zxpf <foo>' commands (in sequence, not in parallel),
   I got:
	ncr0:0: ERROR (0:91) (9-ae-0) (8/13) @ (script 6cc:19001c00).
	ncr0: script cmd = 89030000
	ncr0: regdump: da 10 80 13 47 08 00 1f 03 09 80 ae 80 00 06 00.
	ncr0: have to clear fifos.
	ncr0: restart (fatal error).
	sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @0xfffffe0000031400.
	ncr0: timeout ccb=0xfffffe0000031400 (skip)

   It doesn't seem to have recovered yet, if it's going to.

2. When I reboot or halt (at least, after a floppy boot), I get dumped
   into a low-level monitor mode.  Is this abnormal?  What can I do to
   avoid that?  What can I do, once I'm there, to reset/reboot the
   machine (other than walking around to the machine and cycling power)?

Thanks for any help.
