Our ncr(4) driver is not so great in general and is not fully
bus_dma'ified, so it has coherency problems.
I could try reconfiguring it to use I/O cycles instead of memory as
a workaround..
BTW, if you also have dmesg and /proc/pci for this system, that would
be nice to have.

Ok, assuming that's a Linux init binary you are running there, things
seems to be okay this far (we don't have Linux emulation on MIPS yet).
Try using the /arc snapshot binaries for a root system (netboot is
probably the most convenient).
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/arc/snapshot/20000303/binary/sets/
Remember to replace a few files from etc/etc.cobalt and regenerate
/dev. If you don't have a separate NetBSD system with an anoncvs tree:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/basesrc/etc/etc.cobalt/
I too have a RaQ 2 (single ethernet and no SCSI), so you will likely
the same as me. Note the once you start stressing the system, you
will hit a weird interrupt priority bug that I have been unable to
find so far.
