I'm booting a VAXstation 3100m76 from my Linux box.
Booting miniroot is not problem but using the full set
panics the machine:

-----------diagnostics------------------------------------------
KA43-A  V1.2          ...

F...E...D...C...B...A_..9...8...7...6...5...4...3_..2_..1...


 ?  C  0080  0000.4001
 ?  7  80A0  0000.4001
 ?  6  80A1  0000.4001
 ?  4  00D4  100F.1F63

                                      
-----------------------------------

Whats the problem with A_.. ?
And ' 4  00D4  100F.1F63 '

-----------------------------------------------------------------
any idea ? Where do I get the full NetBSD which I should use ?
miniroot isn't that entertaining :)

Another question:
[...]
realmem = 33288192
avail mem = 29720576
[...]
What is this ? 33 Megabyte ? and what about real mem vs avail mem ? 4 Meg 
for the OS ?
