Hi,
I'm trying to boot -current NetBSD kernel on Blade workstation. I've
tried both the CD-ROM iso image
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/sparc64/cdimage.iso.gz and
a netboot using ofwboot.net 1.5 and netbsd.INSTALL-1.5X.debug. I was
not successful so far, and wonder if there is any hope for me.

The boot messages are like this:

loadfile: reading heade
elf64_exec: Booting /pci@1f,0/network@c,1/netbsd
4561216@0x1000000+7316640@0x1800000+1071968@0x1efa4a0
symbols @ 0xfef62300 74+299064+157490 start=0x1000000
chain: calling OF_chain(80000m e278, 1000000, fff63a80, 18)
[ using 457408 bytes of netbsd ELF symbol table ]
pmap_bootstrap: could not claim physical dseg extension at f776000 size 8a000
Kernel size exceeds 4MB
Setting DTLB entry 00000000 01000000 data e0000000 0f800074
Setting DTLB entry 00000000 01800000 data e0000000 0e400076
Setting ITLB entry 00000000 01000000 data e0000000 0f800074

At this place, it simply hangs. I cannot even enter ddb via Stop-A.

Is there anything I can do to find out why it hangs there? I'd have
the machine available for tests for quite some more time, so I can
try test kernels without any problem.
