Hi again,

just flipped a switch at the serial console panel of my VAXstation II,
connected a cable to it and turned it on. The BOOT ROM was on QVSS
again, but after booting with "B XQA0" it did the following:

(I disabled the countdown because of the keyboard problems)

The booter loads the kernel, but no numbers appear, as i know from the
other VAXen. Some seconds later, the
serial console starts up and says the following: (Copyright message

The kernel IS standard 1.4 distribution kernel, i tried something for
the VAX 4000-300, but nothing changed in the other code. Works fine on
my VAXstation 3100 m76.
After detecting the DEQNA, nothing more happens.

So: Why is DEQNA detected as DELQA by NetBSD ? Are there any differences
? The hardware address is the one from the installed DEQNA, there is
another strange ethernet card installed, but it has a completely
different hardware address.

if_qe.c says it works with DEQNA and DELQA in DEQNA mode. But shouldn't
it print "deqna" here ?

Does someone have an idea what's going wrong here ?

So long... Michael
