Hi!

First of all thanks for all your help.
As you might know already I'm trying to install NetBSD on my Indy.
I used the sgivol tool to boot from disk. Here is a sample
output:

>> boot

Here the machine stops for about 60secs and then reboots.
Using the modified bootloader (2 blocks larger), I get almost
the same output:

What could I do here ? Does compiling gdb support into the kernel
help at that point to track down the problem ?

Thanks, Hendrik
