Re: amigappc test kernel for CSPPC and BPPC

["Andreas Barth" <supernobby%gmx.net@localhost>]

Hello,
sorry, but I only have irregular access to my PPC machine.
Recently I could try again with the original kernel. Sorry, I did not check for 
updates so far.
Here are some more screenshots. I hope they can be seen.

kernel boots, there is a IDE harddisk type of device on internal IDE and a 
CD-ROM unit at the A4000T SCSI controller with no medium inserted, looks ok so 
far

kernel boots, drives configuration is the same, but now with a medium in the 
CD-ROM drive, looks not ok, ends up in debug console. On Amiga side, the CD-ROM 
works ok.

tried to use the debug console, most things don't seem to work. Should it?


The CV643D shows garbage, when I try to boot netbsd from an fully booted Amiga 
system, means also the graphics card is already in use.
It only works so far, when I run netbsd before graphics card was initialized by 
Amiga drivers. Yes, the background is black.

Hope this helps.
Bye,
Andreas
