Hi,

I am new to NetBSD (user on Linux/Solaris) and I am
trying to get an old EasyMate/Mobilepro 770 up and
running. I have a 128MB CF card spare and a couple of
Xircom 10/100 ethernet cards.
Thanks to this excellent list I have got most of my
plans together but I think that my Xircom card may be
a problem.

I found the following bug report but I cannot find any
new kernels that include this fix.

I would really need both the GENERIC and the instboot
kernel so I could get going properly.

I don't have access to another NetBSD box yet and my
limited experience means that recompiling these would
be a bit beyond me.

Can anyone point me to a snapshot of a pre-compiled
version of netbsd.gz and netbsd-GENERIC.gz which I
could use to get my machine up and running.

Thanks,

John
