re: problem with init

[matthew green <mrg%eterna.com.au@localhost>]

i tried booting MALTA kernel in gxemul, but it hangs before starting
init.  sched_sync() never calls cv_timedwait() but loops forever,
except when the timer intr runs, calls hardclock etc.

i patched sched_sync() to always call it, and then init started and
init dies for me, perhaps similarly to you:

init: copying out path `/sbin/init' 11
pid 1(init): ABI set to O32 (e_flags=0x1007)
panic: init died (signal 0, exit 1)
Stopped in pid 1.1 (init) at    netbsd:cpu_Debugger+0x4:        jr      ra

i don't have a chance to look at this again for a while.  matt?
