Re: A7000+ Installation

Hiya folks,

for those who where having trouble with booting up A7000 machines, i've 
made a test version of the boot32 bootloader for you all to test; its a 
slightly enhanced version that tries to be a bit smarter :)

I'll commit the patch if all goes well. All other variants are most welcome 
to test the new version of the bootloader too!!! esp. the ones without 
VRAM!

It can be found at 
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/acorn32/boot32,ffa-20030601

and ought to have fixed the problem. It was a problem with the positioning 
of the DRAM video memory. The machine i got data from in PR 18883 showed 
that it used a small 2*1Mb SIMM in the last slot and i wasn't taking that 
into consideration. So even if it fails to boot (knock knock ... hope it 
will boot!) it still is a cleaner start :)

Cheers and hope to hear from you soon so i can commit it,
