Even better!  the ip3x generic32 kernel that is on the install disk... 
can boot on the normal console ... whent through the hole process of
reinstalling 
from cd on main console... 
so where could I find a generic32  ip32
kernel without the install routine ????

Well what I
do not understand is that 1) the machine boot from the install cdrom as
   
boot -f  pci(0)scsi(0)cdrom(4)rdisk(0)partition(8)ip3xboot
   
witch invokes
   
pci(0)scsi(0)cdrom(4)rdisk(0)partition(8)ip3x
   
with this dmesg:

I know that it is a special kernel
   
why would it work when the netbsd on the  install crashes if it is
based on the same kernell, YES.. NO?

I wasn't aware NetBSD supported the R12k.
     
   
   
   
Is the R12k really /that/ different from the R10k?
   
The panic was about cache support, the R10k code might just work here.
   
   
have fun
