- On a related note, I have a question. I managed to get my NetBSD 1.0
- going again on my GForce 030/50 MHz by issuing "loadbsd -m 4096",
- because it hung with MMU_Faults after having added a second 4 Mb
- (GVP) SIMM.
-
- I've thought of a faulty SIMM, of course, but it runs fine under
- AmigaDOS and memory testers can't find any fault with it.
-
- Also, it cold-booted once or twice with the full 8 Mb, but normally
- (warm boots!) it just hangs after using the second 4 Mb. Even trying
- "loadbsd -m 5000" already gives the mmu faults.
-
- Anybody got any clues at all on what's going on here? Both simms
- are mapped as "extended" and NetBSD does recognise the 8 Mb total.
