I'm trying to get NetBSD to boot on my NEC VERSA 6030X laptop, but I'm
having rather poor luck so far.   At first I tried booting the 1.2
kclap floppy, but that didn't come up very far, so I decided to build
a -current distribution with the pcmcia patches for -current.

Unfortunately, the -current kernel fails in pretty much the same way.
The only differences seem to be that the kclap-12.fs kernel prints its
output white-on-black, while the kclap-12B.fs kernel prints it
white-on-red.  It boots fine, finds the hard disk (wdc0 and wd0), but
doesn't do so well with the pcmcia stuff:

pcicmaster0 at isa0 port 0x3e0-0x3e1
pcic0 at pcicmaster0: VL82146 (82365 clone) Rev. 6 slots 0-1 opmem d4000-d4fff irq 11
pcmcia0 at pcic0
pcmcia0: slot 0 contains <3Com Corporation, 3C589, TP/BNC LAN Card Ver. 2a, 000002>
ep0 at pcmcia0 port 0x300-0x30f irq 10: 3Com 3C589 Ethernet

ep0: wrote 2047 to TX_AVAIL_THRESH, read back 65535, Interface

pcmcia0: slot 1

At this point, it hangs with the cursor after the 1.

Anyway, before I dig deep and try to figure out the details of what's
going wrong, does anybody have any clues to offer?
