I have installed netbsd-0.9 on a 486 and tried to install it on
another 486-system. This secound system is only accesable by floppy
and WD8013 ethernet, witch is locked on irq3 (or irq10), so I want
a new kernel (GENERICAHA is on irq9).
I build it on the first machine, and it's running (until a ed0 - timeout,
because the different irq). Then I copied it
by floppy to the secound machine and booted. The kernel starts
and then breaks after detecting ed0 with a
trap type 12 code = 0 einp = fe0534a3 cs = fe000008 eflags = 10246 cr2
f98533d1 cpl ffffffff
I tried some other config (irq3, irq10) and copied they in the same way -
always trap12, only the point somewhere in the detecting-part is variable.
Even using the kernels on the first machine give this trap - but only
after copying it on a GENERICAHA - disk and booting from it.
It seems, the copy to disk corrupted it.
