} I have a spare Ultra10 that I can use for tests.
} cvs update is already running.
} What needs to be done for ebus?
First uncomment the "fdc0 at ebus?" line and build a kernel.
After that, test and debug. The report I have, said that the
controller attaches but the drive fails to attach. I based the ebus
attachment on another NetBSD driver (I think it was auxio) and the
OpenBSD floppy driver (their ebus code is considerably different then
ours so I couldn't port the ebus attachment directly). Thanks for
taking a look at this. Please let me know what you find.
