The machine begins to boot: Booting wd(0,a)/netbsd @ 0x0 text=0x5d000 data=0x4000 bss=0x1053c total=0x7153c entry point=0x20 and then hangs, and I have to cold boot. So I thought I would boot off floppy. I put in the kernel disk and restart the machine: Booting fd(0,a)/netbsd @ 0x0 text=0x68000 data=0x5000 bss=0x17e2c total=0x84e2c Insert file system floppy ... So I do: entry point 0x20 ... and the machine again crashes. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? If not, does anyone have any suggestions that might help?
