Re: NetBSD 10.0_RC1 on AlphaServer DS25... no boot



The macro used to index the kernel L2 PTs to poke the value in them to point to the L3 PTs was overflowing from 1023->0 because it was designed to, and it probably just shouldn?t have been used in this one particular spot. The fix is quite simple, and the comment explaining it is more complicated than the change :-)

Ok, fix checked in and pull-up to netbsd-10 requested. I successfully booted a 16GB config in Qemu with the fix, whereas before it blew up at 7GB.

Excellent, even if this specific dmesg URL should rightly be taken by a PowerPC:

pkgsrc-2023Q4 builds will start soon. Thanks so very much, Jason!
