Hi,

I've finally hooked up an external hdd to the D330 and installed NetBSD on
it, works fine. I've attached another dmesg.

First I had two drives in the external case, where one said something like
"unit not ready, needs startup command" and then took a lot of time
producing some "command timeout". This was during netboot of the install
system. I didn't wait for it to give up and simply removed the drive. It
later turned out that the drive obviously was jumpered to delay startup and
that contrary to the usual way the delay is on when the jumper is not in
place.

However this probably shouldn't cause timeouts on boot. It's perhaps a flaw
in osiop to be fixed. It also turned out that the drive had defective
bearings, but this shouldn't be related to the mentioned problems since it
wasn't set to spin up automatically.


Besides that there was one problem with the HP TTY (the back reads "HP
700/96") I used as console, which seems to be a dumb terminal. But perhaps
it's only misconfigured.

sysinst uses ANSI codes for the cursor and stuff which all appear verbatim
on the screen and make the display pretty unreadable. I got through it by
looking closely and mostly accepting defaults, but it's really a PITA. This
was with the vt100 terminal type offered by the install system.

When booting all is fine until shortly before the prompt appears after
login. Then suddenly all the old text that scrolled through before appears
again as a kind of background, which also makes all newly printed text hard
to read. But this can be worked around by pressing Enter until a blank area
appears.

You still can't use programs with more complex output, not even vi. They
also produce visual garbage. The end result is Ok, but you effectively have
to do all operations blindly.


I also wanted to set up pkgsrc to build something simple and see how fast
the machine is really. But it turned out that the disk I used is dead slow,
so had to abort this due to time constraints.

Bye, Chris
