>Description:
The file /usr/src/distrib/notes/arm32/prep.RISCOS is not available
in the same place as the Installation notes on the ftp server.
Therefore people who want to install NetBSD/arm32 on an Acorn Risc PC
or A7000(+) are often left in the dark and unable to install NetBSD.

This is very serious indeed since this may mean that people give up
trying and therefore conclude that NetBSD is no good.

I know people who have given up NetBSD on other platforms due to
the problems they have seen with the arm32 port on a Risc PC.
That is not very good for the NetBSD platform in general.

>How-To-Repeat:
Check out the ftp server and see for yourself.
