DEC 5000/240 inst.

[Daniel Colpi <colpi_(_at_)_biotest_(_dot_)_bio_(_dot_)_purdue_(_dot_)_edu>]

Greetings and Salutations,

I am trying to put OpenBSD onto a DEC 5000/240 from a DEC 3100.  I have
succeded in puting it to other 3100's as well as a 5000/200.

Currently I am booting BSD from the 3100, mounting drives from the other
machine and doing a:   dump | restore.

But with this 5000/240 (the first one I have tried) I can't seem to get
BSD to boot from the 3100's drive when it is connected to the 5000/240.

What happens is after it starts up local daemons and prints a date:

starting local daemons:.
Thu Nov 13 12:49:08 EST 1997

It gives me this:

le0: dropping chained buffer
le0: dropping chained buffer
le0: overflow
le0: recieve buffer error
le0: dropping chained buffer
le0: dropping chained buffer
le0: dropping chained buffer
le0: dropping chained buffer
le0: overflow
le0: dropping chained buffer
le0: dropping chained buffer
le0: dropping chained buffer
le0: dropping chained buffer
........  (a bunch of errors like the above) ....
Bus error ( core dumped)
panic: trap
syncing disks ...


except it freezes here.  It dosn't sink the disks, there is no disk
acrivity, nothing.  If I try to hit the system reset button, it doesn't
work.  I have to power off and turn back on.

If I start the 5000/240 up single, everything seems to be fine:

real mem = 67108864
avail mem = 60604416

.... tells me the drives....

rz3 ....
rootdev-0x1508  rrootdev=0x3808  rawdev=0x380a

Then I am in single.

I ran iconfig ... no problem
I ran finger @otherhost ... no problem
I ran rdate @otherhost ... no problem
I ran date ... no problem - clock is clocking
I ran ntpdate ... it hangs with no return
                  (^C didn't work and neither did the reset button)
                  (I had to power off)
Getting back into single (as before)
I ran xntpd ... no problem
I ran ntpdate again ... same as before



Here is what I get when I type cnfg 3 at boot:

>>cnfg
   3:KNO3-AA DEC V5.1b  TCF0 ( 40 MB)
                             (enet:08:00:2b:28:ef:dc)

         mem( 1):  a2000000:a27fffff(8 MB)

Can someone help me?  I don't know what is going wrong, or why I am
hanging the way I do.

Thanks in advance for all the help,
