It looks like the 382 board=E2=80=99s built-in graphics are = disabled (it has medium-res graphics, the COLOR jumper is enabled but = the GRAPHICS jumper is disabled, so I assume the EL display controller = is a DIO device attached to the other side of the internal backplane). NetBSD loads the kernel and starts to boot, but it panics in cnopen() = saying it can=E2=80=99t find the console device. Which is a bit strange, = since I=E2=80=99m seeing that message on what should be the console=E2=80=A6= The text on the EL display is also inverted and garbled, similarly to = the text coming out of my 9000-332 when I tried to boot NetBSD on it. Here=E2=80=99s the boot screen:=20 I took a short video of the panic scroll: https://imgur.com/ik8GabY = <https://imgur.com/ik8GabY> It doesn=E2=80=99t get to the point of mounting / read-write so I = don=E2=80=99t have a saved dmesg and I=E2=80=99m not typing all of that = in at the moment. Questions: 1. Is there a kernel boot switch or (build-time config option) that I = can use to point console to the serial port to see if I can get further? 2. Is there a way to have the hp300 port use the simple text interface = that most graphics cards provide for its console, if I can=E2=80=99t (or = I don=E2=80=99t want to) use a =E2=80=9Cgraphical=E2=80=9D console? =E2=80=94 Chris --Apple-Mail=_63184A0D-A5D4-4E24-9F94-5FC55877773A Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = line-break: after-white-space;" class=3D"">I=E2=80=99m trying to netboot = NetBSD 9.2 (the latest code) on an HP 37900D, which is based on the HP = 9000-382 platform and has a built-in EL display.
