I think I'm missing the big picture. If ncr is buggy and siop is
the true way, why is ncr still used in so many of the Alpha config
files? In particular, INSTALL and GENERIC.
siop is used in FRAU-FARBISSINA and YEAH-BABY
ncr is used in ALPHA, BABYLON, ENIWETOK GENERIC, INSTALL, MINI-ME, and RAWHIDE
I tried to jump on the bandwagon and make a kernel that used siop
rather than ncr and this is what I got. Is there something obvious
I did wrong? (I just changed both places in my config file where
ncr occurred to siop.)
