Hi,
just tried to boot NetBSD/i386 7.0 (LEGACY kernel) on a 486 DX2 with 48
MB RAM. Installation was done on a recent amd64 machine to a 2 GB IDE
disk which was put into the 486 then (yes, its BIOS can fully recognize
the CHS geometry, but can this be the problem?). I can also see no IRQ
conflicts etc., it is just a basic machine right now.
Unfortunately it hangs when accessing the filesystem:
[...]
root on wd0a dumps on wd0b
root file system type: ffs
[hang]
I can at least scroll the kernel output with shift + arrow keys, but
nothing else happens.
How to proceed now? Maybe try NetBSD-6 to get an idea of the problem?
Regards,
Felix
