I've reinstalled from a full 4.99.48 (from
NetBSD-daily/HEAD/200712300000Z) but it does not help.
I've also tried not having /usr on a dedicated FFSv2 partition.
Then tried having the firmware on the same partition as /.
Both didn't help :-(
I took wpi-firmware2 from
"pub/NetBSD/packages/current-packages/NetBSD/x86_64/4.0/sysutils" as I
understood it was just a file copy of the firmware. Maybe this is the
thing that is not right ?
TIA,
Jo
