<section>
<title>Installation Problems</title>
<p>The hardware watchdog timer which is controlled by the
<c>heart</c> port program requires the <c>FORCEvme</c> package,
which contains the VME bus driver, to be installed. This driver,
however, might clash with the Sun <c>mcp</c> driver and cause
the system to completely refuse to boot. To cure this problem,
the following lines should be added to <c>/etc/system</c>:
</p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item><c>exclude: drv/mcp</c></item>
<item><c>exclude: drv/mcpzsa</c></item>
<item><c>exclude: drv/mcpp</c></item>
</list>
<warning>
<p>It is recommended that these lines be added to avoid the
clash described, which may make it completely impossible to boot
the system.</p>
