	Hi.

	Yesterday I put netbsd 1.2D on a decstation 25.  Most things
	went well but there are some problems I'm having that I wondered
	if anyone had seen:

	1) It boots about 1/2 the time -- the other half it hangs in
	the 'old-style SCSI autoconfiguration' section right after
	bootup.  Various SCSI device configuration changes have not
	solved this and the culpret seems to be a Seagate 1gig SCSI
	drive.

	2) the tar-ed, precompiled X server has a strange problem
	with the mouse; it's the same problem mentioned in the
	previous messages except I am using the fb0 device as mouse.
	I've noticed this is particularly bad when the machine load
	is high.

	3) The right shift key does not work only under X.  Trying to
	change this via xkeycaps/xmodmap does not work.  I seem to be
	able to redefine any other key except the right shift.  The
	left shift works fine.

	4) Every now and then the le0 interface stops working and the
	kernel logs a 'lost carrier'.  Continued use of the interface
	seems to bring it back to life.

	If anyone knows anything about any of these problems, please
	help me out.  The shift thing is particularly annoying; I
	have a feeling that it is a simple problem but I am not sure
	how to proceed.  Thanks in advance.

	Scott
