Hi all,

I tried to install NetBSD-1.4.1 on a SPARCstation LX with console on=20
serial port A. If i boot the kernel from a floppy (boot-141.fs) i get=20
a kernel panic.
The machine itself seems to be OK - no problems with Solaris/Linux.
It has a MicroSPARC-I (TMX390510TBBL) and a pair of 32MB SIMMS in bank=20
A.=20
Is there anything I can do?

Now the screenshot:
