[James Robinson <jmr13031%gmail.com@localhost>]

Well.....

Cross compiled for my vax4000/200 and it net booted with the generic config. I am trying to get some of the pkgsrc going. (Very sloooooowwwww) will try applying the patches so I can use distcc.and my 8 RPI bramble to help...

Besides that, very stable.

Great work.
