Hello, I've been getting this message "ipl5: spurious interrupt" on my Cube with NeXTStep, and I think it's a serial port problem, but I thought about trying NetBSD to see if it can help me pinpoint the problem. Has anyone here seen this before ?? Thanks, Alan.
I'm trying to boot the NetBSD kernel on my cube and it comes back with "unknown binary format" even though I've gunzip'ed to my tftpboot location. I've tried the netbsd-GENERIC kernels from 2.0.2 and 3.1 now. Has anyone any idea what I'm doing wrong ? Thanks, Alan.

Hm. You possibly need to load the bootloader first via tftp instead of the kernel. Darrin

Thought I would drop a note saying that netbooting seems to be working properly. Previously I had not been able to netboot anything past 1.6.2 without my slab timing out. The dmesg is included. Setup was standard tftp/bootp/nfs with the following settings on the server: ----------------dhcpd.conf------------------------ host next { hardware ethernet 00:00:0f:00:e1:91; fixed-address 214.53.13.181; filename "/next"; option root-path "/boot/next"; server-name="214.53.13.183"; next-server 214.53.13.183; } -------------------------------------------------- On the NeXT Slab I ran the ben()netbsd And off it seems to work very well. Thanks. Jaime Fournier ober <at> netbsd.org
