Hi everyone, 

First of all - thank you for this port :)

I've tried booting the snapshot kernel, and a couple of my
own creation on a couple of boxes. Both machines give identical
results: (this is from a serial console)

My own kernels (built from cvs, on macppc box using mipseb-netbsd cross pkg) stop right after it prints com0, then print some garbage text and reboot.

My hunches tell me to hook something up to the second serial port, and
see what happens, so I'll give this a go and see what happens.

This O2 has a realtek based (8139, I think) PCI NIC in the PCI tray, and
I've sucessfully built kernels with this device in the kernel.

This machine doesn't do much else, so I'd be happy to run whatever test code
is available - is there anything outside of CVS?

Thanks,

Ken
