I have test to netboot a Vax4000 Model 300 with DSSI bus and it seams =
that the big
Problem with NetBSD is the serial-port allocation.
After the message startx 0x8cc the Vax print a error message :
?06 HLT INST
PC =3D 00000003
and go in Console mode.
I think that error code 06 is for console not found but I have only one =
serial-port on this
machine, or is this an other bug???
This error cames with differents kernel versions (1.3.2 - snapshoot).
This Vax seams to be speed and it can be a good thing to run NetBSD on =
it.
/Christophe.
