- I'm on an Amiga 4000 w/warpscsi and trying to do a fresh install of
- BSD1.1 I had 1.0 installed, but thought I should do a "clean" install -
- besides I wanted to move to another parition. I'm having trouble booting
- into the install mode (-b) with the kernel provided in the 1.1 relears
- heirerarchy. If my problem (description below) is kernel related - can I
- binpatch it? Or where can I find other versions of the kernal that might
- work with my configuration?
-
- My system is an A4000/Warp040@25MhZ (18 meg RAM), AOS 3.1...
- warpscsi.device and ide device being used, A2065 ethernet, Retina Z3...
- and I have an emplant board in there.
-
- Could the emplant board be the trouble maker? Or the interrupt software
- that it installs at boot time (other emplant users)? Are there still
- limitations on the placement of root & swap partitions? I seem to
- remember from installing V1.0 that I needed to have them both on the same
- logical device... Is that still true under 1.1 (if so, the FAQ fails to
- mention it).
-
- Anyway, I'm stuck and I'd _really_ appreciate some help!
-
- Heres the symptoms:
-
- I boot loadbsd -b netbsd and everything seems fine. BSD sees me drives
- and devices, the retina etc.. It sees the swap-root I streamed and gives
- me a blurb about irreversable instalations and then says:
-
- ...install?
-
- I answer Y, I get:
-
- error
-
- type 0
- code a5
- v=2f843d4
-
- panic: bus error.....
-
- any ideas?
-
- Drives should be partitioned and id'ed correctly - I've checked twice.
