Here's some more info on the boot problems I'm experiencing on a
VaxStation 3100 Model 38 with a NetBSD 1.5 installation.

When I use the 1.5 /boot I get stray interrupt: vector 0x18, ipl 31
immediately on booting.
When I use 1.42's /boot the selected kernel comes up! Why is the new
/boot not working...?

Now the generic 1.5 kernel asks me for the name of the root revice. The
cursor is flashing rapidly, and no input is accepted (I'm using the
system console).
The old 1.42 kernel I had compiled works fine.
I've tried to compile an 1.5 kernel. After loading that kernel the boot
process immediately starts over. Here's my config:

include         "arch/vax/conf/std.vax"

I guess I must have done something stupid...

BTW, what options do I have to add in order to support the VaxStation
3100's floppy drive?

Thanks.
