I think Phil is innocent at this stage - look at the CVS logs for
recent changes ;)

I've fixed this in -current and just sent the pull-up for releng. The
change was to move the offending prototype from defs.h to mbr.h. "All
the world is not a peecee!".

I can probably help with this if you have problems (I'm familiar with
the pmax side).
FWIW, these problems may be better sent to tech-install@netbsd.org.
Unfortunately my pc532 doesn't light up any LEDs on power-on, but I
still watch the list for sentimental reasons and the hope that I will
one day get it working again :-)
