Great!  I await with baited breath... or something like that...(:+}}...

I will load it up tonight, and see if my dinosaur VME crates can
breaketh it goode!

Dated, he sez.....(:+\\...

Don't laugh.... but after a year of pfutzing around, I finally got a
working NetBSD up on one of my VME crates (3/260).  It is NetBSD-1.1A.
Everything after that dies in the scsi area.  Polling is slow, but the
polling to completion then interrupt seems to work fine.

I am rubbing a big rabbit's foot for this new 1.4.2.

I am running a download now.  IFF anyone can break it, ..... I can...(:+\\...

How specifically do you want it thrashed?

First I will try a tape load, then a miniroot/swap load, then, if I can
get my other suns set up right, a netboot, then kernel, and if it gets
that far, I will be a veddy happie camper!.

I'll get back tomorrow.

Thanks, Todd....
