i could dsclat into ad3 after it died during the drift, but got a Bus Eror when i tried to execute memShow, after which i couldn't get a response from ad3 at all. i pushed the reset button on ad3, in hopes of saving something by not rebooting the whole crate. i didn't see anything, but they typed control-c, mostly because i couldn't think of what else to do, and got the following: d8d0 _vxTaskEntry +10 : _shell (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) 48998 _shell +138: 489b6 ([0, 0, 0, 487bc, 0]) 48b38 _shell +2d8: _execute (1fab412) 48c20 _execute +70 : 489b6 (0) 48b38 _shell +2d8: _execute (1fab34e) 48c5c _execute +ac : _yyparse ([0, 0, 3, 1fab34e, 1fab412]) 6348c _yyparse +514: 61e56 (1c3ed6c, 1c3ed8c) 61f62 _yystart +758: _ld (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) 4bb1e _ld +3e : _loadModule (0, 0) 47be6 _loadModule +12 : _loadModuleAt ([0, 0, 0, 0, 0]) 47c0a _loadModuleAt +1e : _loadModuleAtSym ([0, 0, 0, 0, 0]) 47c52 _loadModuleAtSym+42 : 453b6 (0, 8, 0, 0, 0, 1fb0a9c) 45636 _loadAoutInit +2e6: 45818 (0, 22cb0, 1fab058, 2e64, 8, 1fab160, 1bcde94, 1fb0a9c, 14) 45850 _loadAoutInit +500: _fioRead (0, 1faaff4, c) 3ddd0 _fioRead +1e : _read (0, 1faaff4, c) 3e92a _read +10 : _iosRead ([0, 1faaff4, c, 1faafac, 3ddd6]) 3f5ee _iosRead +7c : 33b1a ([1f7d7cc, 1faaff4, c, 1faaf88, 3e930]) 33bf2 _nfsUnmount +49e: _nfsFileRead (1fa579e, 1f7d7d0, 44178, 2000, 1f7d88c, 1f7d810) 34f3e _nfsFileRead +ca : 353d4 (1fa579e, 186a3, 2, 6, &_xdr_readargs, 1faaefc, &_xdr_readreply, 1faaeac) 3543a _nfsFileAttrGet+362: 4924a (1fa63c0, 6, &_xdr_readargs, 1faaefc, &_xdr_readreply, 1faaeac, 19, 0) 494b0 _clntudp_create+292: _xdr_replymsg (1faad98, 1faadb0) 25b5c _xdr_replymsg +4c : _xdr_union ([1faad98, 1faadb8, 1faadbc, 7376c, 0]) 27be6 _xdr_union +52 : _xdr_accepted_reply ([1faad98, 1faadbc, ffffffff, 1faad98, 0]) 25a7a _xdr_accepted_reply+48 : _xdr_readreply ([1faad98, 1faaeac, 1faad98, 7376c, 1faad2c]) 60806 _xdr_readreply +28 : _xdr_readresult ([1faad98, 1faaeb0, 1faad98, 1faadbc, 1faad04]) 607c4 _xdr_readresult+30 : _xdr_bytes ([1faad98, 1faaef8, 1faaef4, 2000, 1faad98]) 27b56 _xdr_bytes +66 : _xdr_opaque ([1faad98, 1f7d88c, 2000, 1faad98, 1faadbc]) 27a60 _xdr_opaque +34 : 27e44 (1faad98, 1f7d88c, 2000) 27e6a _xdrmem_create +be : _bcopy ([1fa0e38, 1f7d88c, 2000, 0, 1faad98]) tShell restarted. and i still don't get a prompt. i went and pressed reset again, and it started to boot, but i don't think it finished. i dont' see the memory allocation, and i have an unresponsive prompt. here is the text; i did this twice with the same result.
