intense 24/7 use.
Our ES45 has just been removed from production, so I am attempting to boot
NetBSD on it, but no luck so far.
I have been able to boot an ES40 with no problems, but the ES45 (as well as
an ES47 we had taken out of production) fails loading the kernel.
Ah, progress...
The ES45 I have still had Tru64 on it, and when I booted it, I noticed
that it loaded at 0xfffffc0000430000. NetBSD was loading at
0xfffffc0000300000, so I build a kernel that loaded at 0xfffffc0000430000.
This kernel completed loading and began executing:
8962064+479936 [529536+351743]=0x9d8c10
Entering netbsd-ES45 at 0xfffffc0000431130...
NetBSD does not yet support system type 38 (???).
panic: platform not supported
Next step would be to add the system type support, which may be a bit
more than I know.
