Just wanted to report back -- I rebooted my LC 475 (similar to Quadra 605 or
Performa 475) w/ full 68040 from the debugger prompt, turned off the LC
video hack checkbox, left the single-user mode checkbox turned on, and made
it to a shell. Whoo-hoo! Thanks for the hard work by all of the NetBSD
Mac68k developers out there -- cold, frosty beverages are on me if you're
ever in Birmingham, Alabama.

Cheers,

FWIW, I got the same error message on an LC 475 this afternoon after
installing 1.5.2 (upgraded to full 68040, 8 MB of RAM, 1.2 gig internal SCSI
drive, used latest installer/booter from NetBSD FTP site, turned off VM in
Mac OS, booted in 1-bit video with extensions off, etc.). I had just
finished an install without errors and was booting into single-user mode
with the latest Booter -- had the LC video hack checkbox enabled.

I found this description of the error in groups.google.com:
Leo Weppelman (leo@wau.mis.ah.nl) wrote this on 03/15/2000
in response to a thread titled "panic: cnopen: cn_tab->cn_dev == NODEV"
"I added this panic to prevent weird kernel/
behaviour when misconfiguring the console device. The most probable cause
of this panic is the failure to properly attach a console device. Either
none of the devices did match/attach or you did mess up the config file."

I also found mention on groups.google.com that the LC video hack option is
really unnecessary and has caused a few folks problems (they said that not
using the LC video hack option allowed their Mac to boot into NetBSD). There
was also mention of newer kernels not requiring the use of the video hack.
Anyone successful in installing 1.5.2 from scratch on a similar machine who
can verify this? I can't wait to get home and find out for myself, but it
would be cool if someone could clue me in and save me some time. Thanks in
advance!
