Hi,

I have got a "Applicon Worstation". This Workstation contains :

1 MicroVAXII CPU KA630-AA
1 MicroVAX Memory 8MB
1 tmscp controller + tk50
1 DELQA Ethernet controller
1 MDB M58823A 
1 MDB DWQ
1 M3106 4 Line Async MUX

1 Host Sil-2 PCA P/N 31970-001 INTFC SERIAL HOST
1 NEAT PCA P/N 33090-001    ... looks like a serial connected graphics dev.

1 Disk controller P/N 12272-001 Emulex SCSI labeled UC0410201-03B
  (solder side of pcb labelled QEC-3V0)

currently 1 Harddisk Micropolis 1375 (170Mb)

This machine runs with VMS 5.1 without problems.
I have tried to install NetBSD 1.0 with the tk50 (files tk50-file?-10A).
I can run Nboot, label the Disk, and have successfully installed the Miniroot
in the swap partition.

When I try to boot up the generic kernel the following occurs:

.....

realmem 9428992
availmem 7208960

Using 460 buffers containing 471040 bytes of memory

backplane0 (root)

root device? ra0*

panic: cannot mount root
kernel: kernel debugger trap trap, code=0
stopped at 0x8006c0a7:   @  $12

What is going on here ?
I'm not familiar with VAX Hardware. Is the controller defect or buggy ?
Is it a timeout problem in the controller hardware (I have read about
this in the Mailarchive) ?

Is that controller of MSCP type ?

Contains the tk50-file2-10A gennetbsd kernel the uda.c delay patches ?

Can anyone help solving this problem ?

PS: sorry I not speak english, a frend has helped me.
