I sometimes get a "sd0:reset" console error with subsequent consistent "I/O error" on any command from the shell. Extracting gsrc triggers this everytime. This then forces the use of the "big red switch" on the machine. Before I dig into the SCSI driver has anyone seen this as well? Or yet better fixed this? I have noted problems intermittent soft errors under NeXTSTEP and this same machine (I am dumping NeXTSTEP 3.1 for NetBSD 0.9) which NeXTSTEP was able to recover from. I have been completely unable to determine where these errors are coming from. (Yes, I have checked terminations put brand new cables in, the works. The point is NeXTSTEP was able to deal with these errors and NetBSD 0.9 doesn't.) -- Dyane Bruce db@diana.ocunix.on.ca 29 Vanson Ave. Nepean On, K2E 6A9 So who first started the tradition of 613-225-9920 putting witty sayings in sigs anyway?
