Subject: LC3 & NetBSD 1.6.1 - msg#00090List: os.netbsd.ports.mac68kI continued the odyssey of intalling netBSD on my Lc3. I premit that 1.4.3 was working perfectly on it. I reported newfs creation problem (I have a grab for this, if someone wants the exact message)> I retried some times, reformatting the disk from macos, nothing. I took them my quadra out of the "rack" where it lives, echnaged disks and installed. Now it did work on the same disk. Could the installer be so greedy that 12mb of ram aren't enough for sysinst to create a filesystem? "/" would be in the case the ram disk which could make more sense. IMHO we should try to support somehow also 8/12 mb macs with sysinst, since that works and macos installing remains shaky (besides mkfs creating an older-type fs). now I have the lc3 up and running, I have 2 main problems 1. NETWORK. does something changed in 1.6.1? something I may overlook? the lc3 repsonds to the network form the extern. I can even telnet into it, ping it. but i can ping or reach enything from the lc3, no ping, no telnet... BUT one thing it does, it resolves IP's, so something from that box exists. I have a resonable ifconfig, hosts and resolv.conf file. SUggestions 2. startx coredumps. maybe 12mb aren't enough? but earlier 8 mb of my macII were enough... and anyway there is plenty of swap space. greets, Riccardo PS: the lc3 has no FPU, could it somehow be related with the problems?

If it is a different SCSI driver, is anyone working on one? It's different. There are two different common configurations of SCSI on the Q950. The on-board SCSI should work (esp0 & esp1). We're not running it through the IOPs, though, which might be possible for much more performance. I haven't really looked at that. I've only been able to get 3 MB/s out of the internal SCSI bus, even with a couple of 36 GB Quantum Atlas IV 7200 RPM disks in it. I thought it'd at least do 5 MB/s. Apple also had a separate PDS card with SCSI on it, though, and that's not supported. Yep, I think those were shipped in the Apple Workgroup Server versions of the Q950. I think Apple only supported them under Unix.

I'm wondering what's the best way to get pthreads on my system. I saw that there's a mit-pthreads package for 1.5 but I'm running 1.6.1. Might that package work anyway? I also saw that pthreads will apparently be implemented as kernel threads in some future NetBSD release (2.0?). Would it be foolish to switch from 1.6.1 to a current snapshot in order to get pthread functionality? -Sheldon __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

I'm still bringing machines online and accepting donations. Anyone making a donation or making a contribution to NetBSD is entitled to a free login on the whole cluster. So far, I have amiga, sparc (several), sparc64, hppa, and macppc... with the hppa needing some RAM. I also have a apollo 2500 (68030 based ... but no port ... I havn't decided what to do on that yet). The machines are running a combination of stable and current ... some openBSD or FreeBSD when extra machines exist. I'll have IPv6 here (the ISP I own has an allocation of IPv6 addresses now and we've connected ourselves to several parts of the 6-bone). So ... would be willing to put any machines such as this online with resources such as serial console for those working on them. It is my goal to have one of each platform online ... although I will not be accepting behemoths that draw stupid amounts of power. No 3/260's or 4/260's and no origional 11/780's (for instance).
