Hi,

I'm trying to get NetBSD boot on a Xilinx FPGA board with PPC405 
processor. I started my port from evbppc-port but I can't get any 
output on serial port when booting my netbsd image on the board.

- I got Montavista Linux to boot on the board, I know we need to 
generate librairies from Xilinx EDK and use them for kernel 
compiltation. The libairies contain the hardware configuration from 
FPGA (like uart base address, etc.). Do I need to setup these 
hardware addresses in NetBSD kernel and where do I put them in the 
evbppc-port sources before compiling the kernel?

- The board can boot a zImage elf file from Linux kernel compilation. 
Can I use directly netbsd kernel file or do I need to put the kernel 
in some other format?

Thanks,
