Hi!
I finally found the time to install NetBSD 1.4.0Beta and encountered
some problems:
- MMU panic with boot option -n2
I have a somewhat fragmented memory setup in my A4000:
Cyberstorm PPC/68060 with 80MB RAM (8MB reserved by PPC)
Fastlane Z3 with 24MB RAM
Base memory 16MB RAM fast, 2MB chip
When Bootblock-booting with option -n2, the kernal starts fine
but I end up in the kernel debugger with the first few commands
entered after entering single user mode, e.g. trying to extract
a tar archive is a safe candidate. The error message printed is
"MMU panic".
With options -n1 or -n0 I have not suffered this problem yet.
Under AmigaOS the memory works fine.
- Trashed X display
I went through the process of installing X windows and creating
a /etc/grfmodes file for my Piccolo Z3/2MB RAM (/def/grf3).
X starts but the display is a mixture of trash and faint traces
of what looks like windows.
I tried the X server that came with 1.3.3 but that did not
cure the problem.
My setup worked fine with a complete 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 install
so I consider this a bug rather than a mistake of mine.
