Hello everybody,

I just installed NetBsd-1.2 on my AMIGA 1200T/Blizzard-1240T/16MB/850MB
IDE HD/6xMitsumi-ATAPI-CD and it works quite well, but I have some
problems:

1.I have a little problem with the AGA display. As I read in the
mailing-list-archive, there is a way to binpatch the kernel to use the
same resolution with NetBSD as under AMIGA-OS. So I started MonEd and
wrote the parameters for DblNTSC and DblPAL down. Then I binpatched as
following

MONED 		DblNTSC			DblPAL
HBSTRT          _AGA_hbstrt=0x8		_pAGA_hbstrt=0x2
HSSTRT          _AGA_hsstrt=0xE		_pAGA_hsstrt=0xd
HSSTOP		_AGA_hsstop=0x1c	_pAGA_hsstop=0x17
HBSTOP		_AGA_hbstop=0x1e	_pAGA_hbstop=0x21
TOTCLCKS	_AGA_htotal=0x79	_pAGA_htotal=0x76
VBSTRT		_AGA_vbstrt=0x0		_pAGA_vbstrt=0x0
VSSTRT		_AGA_vsstrt=0x16b	_pAGA_vsstrt=0x76
VSSTOP		_AGA_vsstop=0x2d6	_pAGA_vsstop=0x3e0
VBSTOP		_AGA_vbstop=0xbd1	_pAGA_vbstop=0xbd1
TOTROWS		_AGA_vtotal=0x1ec	_pAGA_vtotal=0x23f

These are EXACTLY the values MonEd returned, when I was running the
modes DblNTSC and DblPAL !

Now I binpatched _ite_default_height and _ite_default_width to the
values I had in DblPAL on AMIGA-OS (x=704, y=550 i think). Now when I
started NetBSD all I got was a black display. I heard my harddisk
running, and I could login and shut the system down again, but I saw
nothing on the screen.

Can anybody tell me what I did wrong or give me values for binpatch with
which I can get a decent resolution non-interlaced on my AGA-Display ?

2. Is there a way for NETBSD recognizing my IDE CD-Rom ? I usually just
get an IDEWAIT: error 04 51 after my harddisk is recognized !

3. Will there be a NETBSD-1.2-CD in the near future with
sources,binaries and the contrib-binaries and perhaps NETBSD-CURRENT ?
It really sucks when I have to download everything at my university and
then copy it to 2DD floppies !!

4. Which state is the BlizzardIV-SCSI-Driver, because I plan to get a
SCSI-KIT for my 1240T ?

Thanks in advance for any answers!
