Howdy guys,
I was out of town last week and then I've had net connectivity problems
this week. Ya'll may recall the boneyard items I picked up recently.
m76: I got NetBSD 1.5 running with a current kernel. It looks good.
m38: When I first powered it up, it trip back over. I think I've
isolated that problem to a disk drive. I decided to strip it down to the
motherboard to see if it would boot. I got a shell once (really, I did),
but I can't get it again.
Now, without the additional memory, it doesn't finish the selftest. The
5, 6, 7, and 8 leds just stay lit. If I plug the memory back in, the
selftest completes and I get a chevron prompt and can almost boot from the
network. Mopd on the remote box claims to have sent a loader, but the m38
never does anything else. If I plug the scsi stuff back in, I get the
same results.
Here's some output. Anything gleanable from it?
