Well, I finally decided to take the plunge. After watching these news
groups for a while and reading the FAQs, I selected NetBSD 0.9 as a
first version to try.
I set up my disk, installed a boot manager and tested it, and booted
the kernal copy (kc-aha09.fs) and installation file system
(inst1-09.fs) floppies -- well, almost. After probing my hardware,
and properly finding everything (I think), I get an "ISA strayintr 7"
message and everything stops. I have tried disabling internal and
external caches, disabling BIOS shadowing, and even disabled the LPT
on irq 7, but nothing changes. I vaguely remember this problem being
discussed before, but did not remember boot problems associated with
it, and therefore do not remember the result.
I am running a 66MHz 486DX2 with an Ultrastor Ultra 34 VESA localbus
SCSI, and booting from a 1.44MB. There is a ATI Ultra Pro VESA
localbus video, 1.2MB floppy, 2 16450 (on mother board) and 2 16550A
(on an adaptor) com ports (no shared interupts), and an lpt (on mother
board) installed.
Can someone help me? Thanks.
