Hello,
Amiga 3000 with Microbotics 8up Ram card (with 8meg on it) 4meg on the mother
board and 2 chip ram. EGS specturm card.
First off netbsd will crash when i try and boot the kernel unless i use the
-pZ options for loadbsd. Wich only gives me 4meg of fast ram, 2 of wich the
Specturm card uses.
Secondly when i boot up netbsd the netbsd install script crashes right when
its supposed to be extracting the sets. (I know this from going through the
install script myself)
Thirdly I did try pulling the Ram card and netbsd would boot without the -pZ
options, but would still crash when trying to extract the sets.
As for the memory problem, I hope i could use that 8 meg on the board by
making my own kernel? but the first priority is installing netbsd1.3.2
Thank you,
Ben Bogart
