Someone said that they were looking into this, but I think that they got
too busy, so I guess I'll repost my question:
I have a DECStation 5000/120 32/1gb with CDROM. I have a PMAGB-BA
framebuffer. As I have come to understand it, the PMAGB-BA that I have
actually has the second oscillator that would normally be installed on a
PMAGB-BC. Whenever I try to boot any version of NetBSD, the display goes
haywire. (I.e. everything goes interlaced and moves slowly off the
screen) I can read (sortof) the output enough to see that NetBSD is
actully booting, so the system doesn't crash. However, it is _extremely_
difficult to use without the console. :)
I haven't tried the 1.3_release kernel, but I tried 1.2g and all the beta
kernels, and so for, no luck. Any ideas?
