This is strange. Until today I was MOPing my VS3100/M30, grabbing the
kernel (1.3 GENERIC) via NFS, and then chugging along with local filesystems
(root on sd0a, swap on sd0b, /usr on sd0e). Worked fine. I finally got
around to installing xxboot; I can now load the kernel using the rom()gennetbsd
syntax and the machine boots single-user no problem. However, when I try to
go multiuser I get tonnes of
DMA incomplete: ntrans=3073/3072, lock=98
si_dma_stop: timeout?
DMA incomplete: ntrans=3073/3072, lock=98
si_dma_stop: timeout?
...and so on. Now I'm well aware of the brokenness of the current DMA code but
why does it work fine when I load the kernel over NFS?
