OK.... I'll wait.
The only question I have is if I'll need to build the kernels (both
sysinst and GENERIC flavors) myself or if these will be made available
somewhere. I don't have a cross-compilation host set-up, so if I need to
set this up it'd be nice to know before hand.
Just for grins I attempted to install 1.6.2 on my MobilePro 780. While
things were looking promising for a while (newfs ran w/out problems)
things eventually came to an end with a "Panic: TLB out of universe" in
gzip while installing base.tgz from an msdos partition on a CF card in the
PCMCIA slot.
It makes me wonder if anyone has NetBSD running successfully on a 780.
And if so, how?
cheers,
