Hi,
As promised, a -current BOOT/BOOTX and HADES kernel are uploaded to
ftp.netbsd.org. I've also generated a new FAQ (The acsii faq is
generated from the html version). Everything can be found in the
directory '/pub/NetBSD/arch/atari' and it's subdirs.
Note that a new binary-set without a new kernel won't work. A new kernel
with an old binary set *does* work ('ps(1)' usually doesn't, but this
won't get you into big problems). The best way to upgrade is thus:
- Try booting one of the new kernels in single user mode.
- If it works (boots, recognizes your devices), use the 1.2
installer and take the 'Upgrade' option to install the binary
sets.
- Grab a '-current' sys.tar.gz if you want to build a custom
kernel.
Leo.
