  • booting problem

    From Bill Cunningham@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 12 14:07:13 2017
    I am using and AMD 64. I have that img file too. When I try to boot
    things load in and there's checks as usual. Then it gets to "1394 (some
    numbers probably ohci 1394) and "< bus 0". Then the machine sits, and sits. That's it. No motion in the HD or USB stick or anything. I'm not getting
    very far. And this is version 7.1.

    I think the '1394' is related to the serial bus. Sounds like the system
    is hanging. Sometimes it helps to select the no ACPI/no SMP options during install; see the NetBSD Guide or Install.html on the main www site.

    I'd try CURRENT from the NY server as it'll have the latest hardware
    support. ALso, you'll get much better advise on hardware issues by posting questions either to the netbsd-users email list or the #netbsd channel on irc.freenode.net instead of here.
