hello,

yes, I have a problem with the loudest computer I have every heard:
my hp360 / netbsd 1.2:

sometimes ( say 30%) the bootprocess stucks after these messages:
>> NetBSD BOOT HP9000/360 CPU
>> pboot.c,v 1.10 1995/ 10/4 07:24:31 thorpej Exp $
>> Enter "reset" to reset the system
Boot [[[rd8a:]/netbsd [-s][-a][-d]] :-
773000+38992+1333104+[45972+48287] total 0xff0ff07b start=0xff0019ee


so I have to switch the power off and on, and with a probability of 0.7
it will work now ...


(hmm, the onliest thing that is damaged is my real time clock:
it works only when the computer is on, if I switch the computer on
I get a WARNING: bad date in bettery clock (maybe the battery is empty
or stolen or ...) and from now on it works - but I don`t think that 
is the reason (this happens every time, my boot-problems sometimes ...))


-- bye Stefan
