after running NetBSD current for awhile, I tried to do a fsck on the file 
system and got this error:

** /dev/rsd0a (NO WRITE)
** Last Mounted on /
** Root file system
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes

CANNOT READ: BLK 64
CONTINUE? [yn]

and the console is showing this error:

aha0: DMA beyond end of ISA

If this isn't bad enough, now I almost always have an error in the file 
system after a shutdown and reboot.

It's been working fine for 6 months and now this.  The only thing I've 
changed is I've added 16 megs bringing the system up to 20megs and it tests 
out fine.

system:
486DX2-66 (intel)
20megs
256 cache
Adaptec 1542cf
IDE

Anyone?
