I have an install floppy (kernel diskette) for laptops, and source diffs
relative to NetBSD 1.2 for APM+PCMCIA diffs.
See ftp://sipb.mit.edu/pub/netbsd/kclap-12.fs.gz and
apm+pcmcia-dist-1.2.19960914.tar
MD5 of the kclap-12.fs is:
31ef66534f198a0b3bbdc65bf0134b33 kclap-12.fs
c34fe4bc9642b072e8d6a1a028183f32 kclap-12.fs.gz
Use this floppy along with the regular upgrade or install floppies. It
should recognize 3c589 or NE2000-clone ethernet cards and a modem card,
as well as the standard floppy, IDE disk, etc.
The APM code is present in NetBSD-current (coming soon to a SUP source
near you, I hope). The PCMCIA stuff works but is not architecturally
clean and will not enter the -current source tree in its current form.
