Shalon, dear MVME147 NetBSD users,
My MVME147 has the OS9 2.4 EPROMS installed instead of the 147-bug PROMS.
I wrote a little tool to boot NetBSD-1.1 from OS9, without the 147-bug PROMS.
It is a dummy OS9 device driver module, that, instead of driving a
device, just dumps sboot (and netboot) into the memory and executes it,
when the dummy device is initialized.
If somebody else is interrested in booting NetBSD from an OS9 system, I
can supply the sources and ready to use modules.
Lots of thanks to Chuck, who helped in getting it work.
Stephan
