Hi all,

I'm running NetBSD on a 5000/120 with a PMAG-AA in TC slot 0. So far, I've
been using the 0.9 version without any problem. Trying to upgrade to 1.2,
I'm experiencing the following problems with the snapshot area on
ftp.netbsd.org as of 09-Nov-1996:

- The netbsd kernel only gets as far as "Starting at 0x80030000" and then
  hangs.
- The newnetbsd kernel just goes a little further and puts the monitor
  into some funny graphics mode, with unreadable text in the upper part of
  the monitor. The lower part still contains the console messages from
  before. After a few more seconds, yet another mode is entered where the
  screen turns completely black (it seems), without any obvious
  possibility of interacting with the system.

  The same behaviour is shown by the netbsd kernel from the miniroot.

Anybody has any idea what goes wrong, and how to avoid it?

Cheers,

Helge
