Much like Andersen Silva reported to this list in February, I have a Quadra 605, upgraded with a full 68040 CPU (*with* FPU), and it fails to boot the OpenBSD kernel (3.6-GENERIC), printing exactly the same message "[ using 407118 bytes of bsd a.out symbol table ] " and then hanging. Pressing Cmd-Power (which generates an NMI, and drops to the debugger in MacOS and NetBSD) does nothing whatsoever (which I suppose makes sense, as the kernel hasn't started yet). Cmd-Ctrl-Power (the 3-finger salute) does a soft reset as expected -- I don't know if that key combination can even be trapped. The bsd.rd kernel from the -current snapshot (3/26/05) fails exactly the same way, aside from printing a different number of bytes. It seems no one ever posted a follow-up to that thread about trying a -current snapshot, so I am posting this message. My Q605 has just 36MB RAM and is running Mac OS 7.6.1, but the error appears to be the same. Incidentally, NetBSD-2.0 runs just fine on this machine; I can provided a dmesg output from NetBSD if requested (obviously there is no dmesg output to be gathered from OpenBSD, as it halts after that one line). -Andrew
