Hello,

I have a Eurocom laptop, which I am trying to install NetBSD on, but it
doesn't want to complete the boot stage.  It's a fairly standard system:

Celeron 433
128M ram
Mach64 video
ps/2 mouse

etc.

Oddly, OpenBSD boots fine, but NetBSD hangs at boot.. the last msg printed is:

isa0 at pcib0

I tried NetBSD 1.4.1 and the 19991223 snapshot boot floppies.

Any ideas how I can get it up to install ?  Unfortunately I don't have a
machine to build a new kernel with..  tho I don't know what I'd change even
if I did.

Thanks,

Ian
