I have put my working tree in sys/arch/cobalt and etc/etc.cobalt and
a kernel at ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/cobalt/netbsd.gz .
The etc.cobalt/MAKEDEV combined with Soda-san's recent binary mipsel
snapshot at ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/arc/snapshot/ can
be used to get going.
I have created a port-cobalt list, so if anyone have questions about
how to install and such (I have some notes about the firmware that
I will be putting up at /Ports/cobalt/) or want to help get it ready
for 1.5, please subscribe to that list.
While it doesn't crash much, it needs a whole lot of cleanup and
isn't quite ready for "use" because I have really just been finding
out how the hardware is wired so far and there are a number of minor
features missing. Don't expect too much just yet.
