Thanks all, that helped complied troff, groff, complied make,
config and finally complied a new kernel, but still...
The config GENERIC works fine now....
next make depend
in vax/compile/GENERIC says it can't find netinet/if_ether.h
in machdep.c (flag INET). Should config generate this???? I made some
changes in GENERIC, # on things that I could not identify in the VS2000,
anyway find showed that if_ether.h could be found in net and somewhere else
I don't remember. Changed netinet/if_ether.h to net/if_ether.h in
machdep.c.... then make depend and make works. The complied kernel seems
to work.
In GENERIC I included option CD9660, is this enough to obtain support for
CD on the scsi-1????. It identifies the CD correctly but says not
configured...
As usual, I guess I am missing something???
/Thanks Matti
