Hi, Gordon, et al;
as I mentioned, I've got a Sun 3/60 netbooting NetBSD, and've run into a few
problems, some of which aren't related to NetBSD (I _hope_).
1. I probably need to fix my clock battery, but after the kernel loads,
and I get a message like "WARNING: clock gained 80611 days" and
occasionally (perhaps 1/5 of the time) it will just hang (this is using the
binary distributed kernel, btw). Sometimes (after a few minutes to
a few hours), I'll get the init prompt; normally I get the init prompt
immediately. Ideas? Pressing L1-A yields problem 2.
2. At any point after the kernel has loaded, pressing L1-A yields:
Stopped at _Debugger+0x6: unlk a6
db>
and now, the machine hangs. L1-A before init seems to work fine.
Are these unique to me? Will going and getting a new clock battery
help (I've been meaning to for a couple weeks now...).
Chris said that the NetBSD mountd should work fine for nfs mounting
swap. My recollection is inconsistant w/ this, but I'll try and go
take a look...
