I suspect the problem here is that the SRM is reporting the console
as CTB_TURBOSLOT_TYPE_EISA, which the NetBSD console code doesn't handle
very gracefully.
Can you please hook up a serial console to the machine, run
"show config" and "show devs" at the SRM prompt, capture that
output, and e-mail it to me? That would certainly help me to
debug this problem.
If it is a CTB_TURBOSLOT_TYPE_EISA, I'm pretty sure we can handle that
the same way we handle CTB_TURBOSLOT_TYPE_ISA, but I'd like to see
the SRM output described above, first.
