Is there anyone who tried recent -current on atari (and amiga)?
I'm afraid -current kernels won't boot (hangs after bootloader).
You are right! I can confirm it for Amiga!
When booting a kernel, the system would just hang, before any graphics
chip
initializations have taken place.

I see the hang as well. First I tested the 5.0 release kernel just to
make
sure it would work. It does. Then I tried this one:
/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/200907010002Z/atari/binary/kernel/netbsd-ATARITT.gz
It freezes even before the screen would normally go black to start the
scrolling boot text.
Could you try the following workaround patch or compiled ATARITT kernel?
It defers one callout(9) function to avoid mutex(9) calls in early boot.
Of course the real fix is to rewrite console initialization functions
on these ports, but I'm afraid it requires some more confirmation.
