Sebastian,

You need to hook up a serial console. By default the NetBSD 1.5.x kernels
don't have support for TurboChannel console. Serial is your only option.

Either a VTxx0 (VT100, VT220, VT420 etc) or a null-modem cable to a PC
serial port.

Cheers,

Collin

Hi!

recently I talked to Hubert and he suggested you could help me.

I tried to install netbsd 1.5.1 on a dec alpha 3000. The box booted from
cd-rom drive, but after "SWITCHING TO SERIAL CONSOLE" there was no further
action... (I must add - there is no floppy drive available..)

(Previously there were some information like

Open netbsd: No such file or directory

netbsd.gz
netbsd.bak
netbsd.bak.gz
netbsd.dd)

Do you have a clue how to go ahead?


Thanks in advance

Sebastian
