Hey all,

Dusted off my old U5 with the intention of installing NetBSD 2.0.2 on 
it. As far as the install itself went, not a single problem. Everything 
seems to have gone smoothly.

This particular U5 has, of course, the onboard IDE support, but with 
only a single CDROM attached. An external SCSI HA/HME combo card 
provides for a SCSI bus, with a single 9.1G HD attached.

The trouble I'm having now is with actually booting NetBSD. I get the OF 
booter, it loads the kernel, detects the hardware up until the HD (sd0), 
and eventually dies right at:

root device:

At which point it freezes hard: STOP-A fails to work, and I need to 
power cycle.

I suspect it might be trying to find the root device at wd0a, which 
doesn't exist. I don't recall mention of this anywhere (during the 
install, boot, etc), though. The other possibility is that it's actually 
trying to use the serial port as the console, but my output-device and 
input-device are screen and keyboard, respectively. I don't have the 
proper cablage handy to test this theory. Any chance of that?

I'm sure it's a stupidly simple thing, brought about by this slightly 
non-standard setup. Solaris, I should mention, has no problem with this 
configuration.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Thanks
