It probably means that I have put the kernel I use myself on the bootflop
and not the 'plain' kernel. I have parity checking disabled on target 0 & 4
only. the plain kernel disables parity checking on all devices. There seems
to be a hardware problem on the TT that makes that parity doesn't work as
it should. You can probably solve it by 'binpatching' the kernel to
turn off parity checking.
Grab the binpatch program from ftp.netbsd.org it's in the directory:
	pub/NetBSD/arch/atari/utils.NetBSD
Now type:
	binpatch -b -s _ncr5380_no_parchk -o 8192 -r 0xff <the netbsd image>

The netbsd-image should be the image used on boot. The current value
of ncr5380_no_parchk will probably by 9.

There is an archive on ftp.netbsd.org, but not searchable. I doubt however
that this is in the archive.
