[SunRescue] vme cg3 not working in 690mp??

[Kevin Loch]

I think the problem is that VME support was dropped after
2.4.  The 4/600 works with 2.5.1 because it does not
need VME support to boot off of the on board SCSI
or Ethernet (or SBUS boards for that matter).

It should work fine with NetBSD or Solaris <=2.4.

You might be able to install VME support packages
off of the 2.4 CD onto your 2.5.1 installation.
