After I finished installing NetBSD-1.5_ALPHA2 on this DS20E, I got
this panic while trying to come up to multiuser mode:
uvm_anon_add: can not allocate 656655 anons
panic: uvm_anon_add
Stopped in swapctl at cpu_Debugger+0x4: ret zero,(ra)
db> t
cpu_Debugger() at cpu_Debugger+0x4
panic() at panic+0xfc
uvm_anon_add() at uvm_anon_add+0xbc
swap_on() at swap_on+0x3bc
sys_swapctl() at sys_swapctl+0x4bc
syscall() at syscall+0x1dc
XentSys() at XentSys+0x50
--- syscall (271, netbsd.sys_swapctl) ---
--- user mode ---
I disabled the swapctl call in /etc/rc.d/swap1 and that got me around
that panic. But now I cannot login.
I had set a passwd for both root and toor (toor is the /bin/sh root
login) but I cannot login as either. I powercycled, booted to single
user, fsck'd and tried moving all the dotfiles in /root away. I still
have the same problem, I cannot login:
starting local daemons:.
Updating motd.
Starting cron.

I would guess that this is not a /bin/sh or a /bin/csh problem since
both seem to work in singleuser, and neither root nor toor login works.
