Subject: G3 cache kernel

I am trying to get the G3 cache on the upgrade card on my 7300 enabled.
The card is a Newer G3 275MHz with a 1Mb 1:1 backside cache (275MHz).

I added the folowing to my kernel conf

options L2CR_CONFIG="(L2SIZ_1M|L2CLK_10|L2RAM_PIPELINE_BURST)"

When using this kernel I see:
cpu0 at mainbus0: 750 (Revision 2.2), ID 0 (primary)
cpu0: HID0 8290c0a4<EMCP,ECLK,DOZE,DPM,ICE,DCE,SGE,BTIC,BHT>
cpu0: 279.07 MHz
cpu0: 1MB backside cache

And then it hangs. I have tried the other two settings for the SRAM as
well. I am about to try a 1.5 clock ratio for grins.

Has anyone had any luck with something like this? Any ideas? Could this be
the booter problem Bill was looking into? This has the booter put on by
the 1.6 installer (it says version 1.6). Which file is this? (my netbsd
box is not running, ATM. If it is called something.xcf I will find it.)

Again, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
