Ok. Now have done some hacking on the KA86 code for NetBSD-current, and
have a kernel that seems to work.

I suspect that there is noone else running such a machine, so maybe this
isn't too interesting for others...
However, in doing this, I have also been tearing through the SBI code,
the KA780 and KA750, as well as a little fiddling with the Unibus code.

So if anyone have such a machine running (real or emulated), it would be
nice to talk and test my code to see that those machines also work. Then
I'll be happy to send in my changes so that they can be incorporated in
the official sources again.

Another thing - in the process of this I also discovered that /boot does
not work on the 8650. I don't know how/if it works on other machines.
Anyone who can test a fairly new version and report?

I guess I might look at that next, once I'm done with this part. My
current /boot is from 2006...

Attached the dmesg from the 8650. :-)
