NetBSD-1.2 problems



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!
