Hi,

I have two NetBSD/pmax (2100) machines here; currently both running
1.3.2. One machine is diskless, the other is tftp/bootp/nfs server
for the diskless machine.
Because the disk-machine performs some other server tasks, I deciced
to first upgrade the diskless machine to 1.5-stable.

The tftp step performs ok; then the booting starts. I tried 3 kernels;
the dist kernel (binaries/kernel/), netbsd.ecoff, nfsnetbsd.

It doesn't seem to matter though; they all stop at the same point:

NetBSD 1.5 (RAMDISK) #4: Mon Nov 20 08:30:09 EST 2000
    root@medusa.thistledown.com.au:/NetBSD/src15/sys/arch/pmax/compile/RAMDISK
DECstation 2100 (PMAX)
total memory = 24576 KB
avail memory = 17956 KB
using 332 buffers containing 1328 KB of memory
mainbus0(root)

No newline follows the "(root)", it hangs there.

I have no experience at all with the pmax architectures.
Could somebody tell me what could be the problem? When booting 1.3.2,
the next lines are:

cpu0 at mainbus0: MIPS R3000 CPU Rev. 2.0 with MIPS R3010 FPC Rev. 2.0
        L1 cache: 64kb Instruction, 64kb Data.

Any help is appreciated,
