Just built a netbooted 2.0 environment for my Sparcstation Voyager. Works
okay, but a couple of problems have appeared that I'd like to ask about.
First, maddeningly, the keyboard doesn't repeat when you hold a key down
under X. I tried the obvious thing ('xset r on'), but it doesn't help.
Thinking maybe it had something to do with the X binaries I cross-built
from my i386 machine, I downloaded a fresh set of binaries from
ftp.netbsd.org. Same issue. Any ideas?
Second, inserting an 802.11b card in the PCMCIA slot freezes the machine.
The card is recognized (a `wi0 at ...` message shows up), but then the
machine just hangs. When you pop the card out, the Voyager starts running
again. This happens both when the card is already in the slot at boot time
and if I insert the card after boot-up. There are some other messages
that appear on the console, some regarding interrupts, which I'll type up
when I get home. Anyone seen this?
Many thanks for any help.
