>Originator:     Dave Barnes
>Release:        2.0_BETA
>Organization:
Consult Engr
>Environment:
System is IBM PS/2 50z with Reply PowerBoard - 486 class CPU upgrade.  CPU is AMD 5x86 (Kingston TurboChip).  Floppy interface is Intel 82078.

>Description:
When booting a 2.0_BETA kernel, GENERIC, INSTALL, or INSTALL_PS2, system hangs immediately after fdc0 message appears on console.  No fd at fdc0 messages appear.  Custom 2.0_BETA kernel without floppy support boots normally - just no floppy access. 1.6 and 1.6.2 kernels boot correctly and floppy drive is usable.  

Debugging:
CPU proceeds normally until spl0 in function cpu_configure of file src/sys/arch/i386/i386/autoconf.c enables interrupts.  Then CPU continually services function fdcintr of file src/sys/dev/isa/fd.c .

Further debugging:
Function fdcattach of file fd.c runs and puts function fdcfinishattach on interrupt queue via function config_interrupts.  Function fdcfinishattach is never called. 

As soon as interrupts are enabled system hangs servicing irq 6 (floppy interrupt - function fdcintr) even though function fdc_isa_attach in file src/sys/dev/isa/fdc_isa.c has IPL_BIO set in call to isa_intr_establish.  
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to boot 2.0_BETA on a Reply PowerBoard or Reply TurboBoard.   (I don't have another PS/2 type system to test. The Reply TurboBoard is the 386/486slc version of the motherboard upgrade.)
>Fix:
Unknown - It should work as it works on other i386 systems.  Some subtle / obscure difference in Intel 82078 or PS/2 Microchannel architecture that only affects NetBSD 2.0_BETA?
