Re: NetBSD 4.0 Release Candidate 1 available for download

Hi all,

I tried booting the 4.0 RC1 "macppccd.iso" from
the URL at the bottom on
my PPC Mac Mini but I can not get it to boot, no matter what
OF commands I try.

Does anyone know if that image is supposed to be bootable?
Or is there
still some problem with "makefs" for macppc?

If I mount the CD manually it looks like it is just a copy
of the
macppc releasedir, not a "real" release CD.

For reference, this one boots just fine for me:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-3.1/iso/macppccd-3.1.
iso

Best regards,

     -- Urban

It is not supposed to be bootable as far as I know.

What would be the difference between the releasedir and real
release CD?

All,

matter what OF commands I try.
-> 

I have not been able to boot a 4.0 (RC1 or beta) or any of
the -current kernels 
on my dual G4 Powermac for a little while.  IIRC, it throws
a "DSI trap" error
immediately after the kernel is loaded.  I'll try to be more
descriptive
when I get home.

4.0 RC1 is running great on my G3 iMac though.

All,

When I try to boot a 4.0 kernel, I get the following
errors:

console keyboard type unknown, assuming ADB

* Some text scrolls by too quickly for me to catch *

trap: kernel ISI by 0xff80a290 (SRR1 0x40003030), lr:
0x1001dc


And the last two lines repeat until I power down or reset.

The output from dmesg and ofctl are below:

Thanks for all your great work!
