I gave up on my 3100/30 4MB as a diskfull station a week into a kernel build
with little visible progress. I gave up on it as a diskless station a week
into a kernel build with little visible progress. Last weekend I got around
to playing with my 4000/60 8MB system. The 4000/60 is headless (I've
misplaced the graphics card), so I'm using a serial console. It does a nice 
job.

I'm netbooting the 4000/60 from an x86 NetBSD 1.4 box. I am booting 1.4.1
on the 4000/60. Of course, the first thing I did was build the kernel I
was working on for my 3100 tweaked slightly for the 4000/60 (config file
attached, less comments and blank lines). Since the 3100 at 4MB will 
thrash at the drop of a hat, I didn't configure any ptys into the kernel.
I quickly decided that I wanted to be able to telnet into the 4000/60, so
I added "pseudo-device pty 8" to the attached configuration and went for
a new kernel build, running on the kernel corresponding to the attached
configuration. Things went along for a little while, until suddenly I
got:

BUG: process flushed twice

and that's all she wrote. I'm currently trying the kernel build from the
generic kernel. If that works, I'll try it again from the attached
kernel to see if it's repeatable.

Also, whenever I halt the 4000/60 I get

??CRPT - good256 is bad

from the console. Probably a FAQ, right?

I have not yet attempted -current. Should I?
