[patch snipped]
Gordon,
Your patch did the trick! I can now report that CG4 support is functional!
I guess means that something is screwed up with UVM support. My 3/80 only has
8MB of ram; don't know how much was on the machine you tested with. Hope this
gives a few data points toward getting -current working again.
BTW: the 1.3.2 source tree looks significantly different from -current, with sun3x and sun3 as completely separate architectures and build areas. Is the 1.3.2 tree what -current needs to migrate towards, or is it legacy?
Thanks again!
