There are probably dozens of bugs, keep in mind this is the first release :-)
Those I'm aware of:
- the console has some scrolling bug. This shows in the ircII client, where
incoming message lines just `scroll' in the last displayed line, instead
of scrolling the entire display.
- the dma code is currently broken. I'd really like to get this going again,
it's scribbling over innocent memory at the moment, and I think there might
be some bugs in the A3000 Service Manual describing some registers, we'll
see...
- nfsd and mountd crash regularly when going to multiuser mode...
- the console seems to have some problems displaying text when parity is
enabled. This shows in a distorted login-prompt (multiuser mode).
- the vt200 emulator is really far from perfect, and needs a lot more work
to be honestly called a vt200 (or vt320 even) emulator.
- 8bit characters are all displayed as ^@. Problems could lie in wrong tty
settings or the ite driver.
- although autoconfig information is passed into the kernel and the hardware
table is generated, no I/O-space is currently allocated in kernel VM for
boards. This will probably be one of the first things to fix or nobody is
able to access their boards under BSD ...
- sun-style disklabels are not yet supported.
- disklabels can't be written back to disk. You'll have to configure your
drives under amigados (with hdtoolbox), and just format the partitions
under BSD. I think this is a tolerable limitation.
- the clock runs much too fast. I have an idea the kernel might think in
60Hz units, when the clock really runs at 100Hz, I'll look into this.
- there's currently no provision for reading the realtime-clock, so time
is always set using the last modification date of the mounted root
filesystem.
- severe crash after dumping to disk...
to be continued...
