OK, I got a new kernel and installed the new binaries (940319). A few
observations:
- I still cannot mount mfs (can't read disklabel). This worked in 744
and below. Was a hack to get a BSD-style disklabel from an RDB image
broken somehow?
- vi is horribly slow. It takes about 1/2 second to respond to anything
that requires screen scrolling. I'm not sure if it's vi, or an
inefficiency in the ITE handling. Also, I noticed this after I ran
the view-based X server. Will do more experiments tonight.
- Does _anybody_ have a version of GDB that works with the >= 744 proc
structure size? The version of GDB on prep is 3 MB compressed, 15 MB
uncompressed. I don't have the disk space required to compile it.
Also, it does not have a config entry for *-netbsd.
Since a version of GDB was ported way way back, someone must have done
this already. Is anybody in the process of building the new GNU tools?
