Hello, I have a laptop with an AMD fx7500 cpu. I have installed netbsd 9.2 on a second drive and am booting netbsd (or trying to boot) from that drive. I have installed the system using the NetBSD-9.2-amd64.iso image. The system installed fine. When i try to boot into netbsd, it shows me this on screen mem [range-list] where range-list is more than one pair of hex numbers (seem to me like addresses) separated with a dash (-). The system sometimes hangs there. Sometimes it gets to the menu where it displays a menu (boot menu) that has menu items as such: "1. Boot normally", "2. Boot single user" and "3. Drop to boot prompt". At what stage in the boot process is this mem [...] text being displayed? Why would this not pass this stage? If this process is slow, why would I see this kind of performance problem? I did not see this on virtualbox when I installed netbsd 9.2 on a virtual machine. There are other problems as well after I choose to boot normally. At that time, it is really slow in running through the memory pages (i believe it goes through memory at that stage) that is being shown after the line "default boot twice, skipping", where it is displaying numbers and a spinning wheel (text). Why would this be slow? On virtualbox this just spins very fast and goes on to display the diagnostics messages. I thank you in advance. Any help would be appreciated. Best Regards, Riza Dindir
