New patch for mpc8xx port



All:

We've just released a new patch file which contains our work to date on the
Motorola MPC821/823/860 (mpc8xx) port.

Notable improvements:
  - a standalone loader for the Motorola MBX board uses the EPPC-Bug monitor
    facilities to load the kernel via Ethernet
  - the kernel comes up and prints "Hello, NetBSD!" on the console using its
    own internal (non-interrupt-driven) drivers.

Next:
  - use the i386 pmap.c as the basis for an MMU driver for the mpc8xx.

See:

for the latest info.

P.S.  I've copied this message to all of those who previously expressed
interest in this port, as well as to tech-embed%netbsd.org.@localhost  If you'd 
rather
not be mailed directly, please let me know and I'll take you off my list.
