I run the netbsd.GENERIC off one of Jonathan's miniroots on my 8M DS.
It had some 50 MByte in the 'b' partion.
On the 24M DS3100, i managed to reconfigure a kernel with a tape-drive
and 'root on rz0a swap on rz0b ...'. When trying 'swapon /dev/rz0b',
I got the 'already in use' message back. So, I reckon I got it right.

Then I added half of an RZ23 as well, and got the same lock-up.
This time when running four instances of a program accessing 8 MB of
memory in succession (one page at a time), sleeping for a while, then
touching the pages again.
So, there should be enough of virtual memory around (there is in
total 90MByte of swap configured).

I am lost, more or less...

BTW, any progress with the debugger support ?
