Hi Rui,
Thanks for the detective work. You know what? That worked! I just built
my first kernel:
NetBSD 2.0 (CHERRY) #0: Wed Jul 27 21:31:00 EDT 2005
Welcome to NetBSD!
$ dmesg |grep nscl
nsclpcsio0 at isa0 port 0x2e-0x2f: NSC PC87366 rev. 9
nsclpcsio0: TMS at 0x6640
nsclpcsio0: TMS in standby mode
$ sudo envstat -l
envstat: No sensors found
Not sure what to make of that, though. :-(
Thanks very much for your help. I'll try to remember to check CVS myself
next time.
Regards,
