 Hello,
 
 while researching a boot problem I came across this bug report. It 
 pretty much describes the same problem that I observed with NetBSD 
 9.0_RC1 on a slightly old HP Compaq 6005 Pro desktop with AMD Phenom II 
 cpu. I have already removed all additional cards, swapped RAM, started 
 without disks, reset BIOS to default values â??â??and turned off everything 
 exotic - nothing helps. Is this type of problem specific to HP machines, 
 or rather generic? Is there anything else that you can try besides using 
 another bootloader? Is it worth it to try to boot NetBSD with a serial 
 console on this device, or is that too early to even see anything on the 
 console? The device has in principle a serial interface on board.
 
 I'm aware that debugging hardware that you do not have on-site is 
 difficult and time-consuming. I do not expect anyone else to spend a lot 
 of time here either. I would be interested anyway why exactly this 
 device makes such problems, possibly fix it and learn something on 
 NetBSD. So I will be very thankful for any pointers.
 
 Kind regards
 Matthias
