Hi there,

  I've recently installed NetBSD on my computer; everything is OK, except for
the fsck -p call in /etc/rc. It just freezes the machine at boot time.
  I had to remove this call from /etc/rc, and without it the boot goes on
normally.
  If I issue fsck after the whole boot stuff, it works fine.
  I have two IDE HDs (43Mb and 270Mb), both having NetBSD and DOS partitions.
  Any clue???

  Oh, another info that might be helpful; I always receive the message:
	wd0c : extra interrupt       (or something very close to that)
  also at boot time.
  I guess there's something related between this message and the freezing fsck.
  Well, it's just a guess. I can't figure out what's going on.
  Thanks in advance for any hint.
