maybe.
or unplug the PicassoIV.

Hm. The way to go around the big machine syndrome was to:


binpatch -s _Sysptsize /netbsd
binpatch -s _Sysptsize=6 /netbsd

(or some other small number bigger than the initial 4.)

Yes, there is a version of binpatch for AMigaOS.

actually, what your story reminds me of is an Apollo3060 user who ahd
lots of problems, found that he couldmake his machine work by patchin
NetBSD into disabling the cache, and finally --- years later---
figured that something about his hardware was flaky.

Somebody mentioned later that _his_ board works fine with standard NetBSD,
so I guess it is not "all Apollos dont work".
