Hey guys,
I got very lucky and obtained an SS20 with quad Ross 200mhz cpus for
$50. This sounds like a machine for NetBSD-current, so I loaded it up,
and all works almost fine with kernel sources as of today (Feb 25),
except for those "xcall(cpu0,0xf01ca010): couldn't ping
cpus:xcall(cpu0,0xf01ca010): couldn't ping cpus:" messages. This was
expected, as I have been following the mailing list. However, I tried
compiling a kernel -j14 just for kicks, which crashed the machine
pretty hard (no console output, had to break to the open firmware).
I wish I had time to contribute, but I can offer time to test updates
and such. Keep up the good work!
Adam
