I am running NetBSD 0.9 on a 386DX-40 with 8MB RAM and a mathco. When NetBSD 
boots, I get the above error message several times and then the message "Too
many errors.  will stop logging"

I have removed all cards except the hard disk controller.  Has anyone else had
this problem? What causes it?  How do I fix it?

I am using an IDE controller with a Conner 240MB IDE HD.

I have tried using a VGA card and a Mono Card.  I have removed all I/O ports...
I have even booted a DOS (ooooh nooo!)disk and run QAPLUS (diagnostic) to check
the IRQs, but found no problems.  

Please help!

Ken
