Here's what I've run into so far with netbsd 0.8:
Other and I have already mentioned:
- halt doesn't seem to wait for a keypress
- installing along with a DOS partition seems to be
an experience in itself -- I've had the partition table get
clobbered badly
- disk labelling after the initial install on a second drive
gives the boot doesn't leave room for partition table error
I haven't seen these:
- killing off syslogd causes the console to hang
- running with two ide drives causes the system to hang during
fsck's preening phase when it's accessing both drives at once
^T shows system time on fsck increasing in sync with real time,
user time doesn't change (sounds like a driver bug)
- I was never able to label a SCSI drive in a mixed IDE and SCSI
system. Even after creating some empty xxboot and bootxx files
I never got the disk label to write properly. This wasn't a problem
after I substituted a second IDE drive (but see the problem
immediately preceeding this one). I was able to bring up a
SCSI only system without disklabel problems, although I have not
yet tried to label a second SCSI disk.
