Well, I finally got my 1GB drive. All it took was to change
suppliers and I had the drive in less than a week. Typical... :p
Where was I? Oh, yes. So I now have a 1GB SCSI2 drive attached
to the 3/50 replacing the CDC 96141-155. Currently, it takes quite a lot
of time to access the drive; for some reason it reminds me of a C64.
Would enabling the DMA "mode" speed up this drive so that I will be able
to load X in my lifetime?
In an unrelated topic, how do you rebuild the kernel in NetBSD?
In ultrix we had this /usr/sys directory where the kernel config file
would be hidden. Would NetBSD have something similar?
