(As a reference, CentOS 5, CentOS 6 and Knoppix booted fine).

After applying some patches provided by Anders Hjalmarsson on port amd-64 (thanks again Anders!), kernel boots up to

>How-To-Repeat:
install NetBSD 5.1/amd64 on AMD equipped HP Server hardware (tested BL465cG7, other hardware seems also be affected, see mail thread).

>Fix:
Anders provided this patch for a problem in the A20 handling:

his comment was 

Can you try this patch, it is not well-tested especially not on different
motherboards but it got a DL385 G7 to load a kernel some time ago (it
still had problems, but could at least load the  kernel and start finding
devices).
The patch is loosely based on what linux does, I picked the same
adress to test, on the assumption it is a safe adress.

If someone who knows more about gate A20 can clean up this mess
I would be grateful.


This is a patch against current, it may not apply cleanly to 5.1,
in particular, i think the patch for cpufunc.S should be removed for 5.1
Also the bootroms will become too big so just try building the boot program
you need.

 just to let you know that the problem still exists in NetBSD-6.1.

 Hardware is a HP BL465c G7 with the newest BIOS available.
