daily current installation snapshots?

Where can I find the latest current installation boot images and sets?

I am looking for i386.

ftp4.de.NetBSD.org has August 19. releng.NetBSD.org has connection
refused. ftp.fr.NetBSD.org has July. And ftp.NetBSD.org has July.

Do we provide daily snapshots for current? Anything recent?

Mounting NFS on NetBSD

I'm trying to mount NFS on a diskless, PowerPC+Sandpoint-based system.
NFS server is a NetBSD on i386.
I've followed the whole steps in 'Diskless NetBSD Howto', but when I
boot my diskless system, booting stops in the middle. The following is
the boot message.

My understanding is that the releng build machine is in the process of 
being replaced since a hardware meltdown some time ago, and there won't 
be daily builds until the replacement is complete.  Meanwhile, I do 
periodic builds for i386 and make ISO images available here:

http://www.tastylime.net/netbsd/

The most recent one is a few weeks old at this point because my build 
machine has been busy with pkgsrc bulk building...  I'll probably build 
-current again in a couple days.

You should look at the traffic between the two devices to see what is
going on with the NFS connection.

Try putting the NFS_BOOT_RWSIZE option in your kernel configuration -
try 1024 as a starting setting - to prevent fragments that your
ethernet arrangement might not be fast enough to handle (although I
would expect a pci fxp to normally not have a problem with this).

amq -u fails on type:=program

Since 2.9.11 or around that...

Unmounting by 'amq -u' fails on type:=program filesystem.
Is this my fault???

Here is small example.

Suppose if your flash memory card can be mounted with

  mount -t msdos /dev/wd1e /.mnt/cf

and unmounted with below.

  umount /.mnt/cf

Map file below should work for both action.

---------[ /tmp/test.map ]----------------------------------
cf	type:=program;fs:=/.mnt/cf;\ 
	mount:="/sbin/mount mount -t msdos /dev/wd1e /.mnt/cf";\ 
	unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /.mnt/cf" 
------------------------------------------------------------

# amd -l /var/tmp/amd.log /y /tmp/test.map
# ls /y/cf/.
dcim/   intro/  misc/   system/ 

It's all right here.
But unmounting by amq -u fails.

	I provide "weekly" snapshots of both -current and 2.0
for architectures I'm interested in (i386, sparc, sparc64,
alpha primarily, with occasinal builds of macppc and vax from
-current..)

3ware management tools for NetBSD using the FreeBSD binaries?

	Hello.  I'm trying to use the FreeBSD binary tools for the 3ware RAID
controller cards under NetBSD-2.0, and I find that they cannot find the
controller cards.  It looks like they try to look for 3ware data in the
sysctl tree, and failing that, give up.  I've looked in the NetBSD-current
sources to see if anyone has made the sysctl stuff work with the 3ware
cards in the twe(4) driver, but it appears not.  So, since I assume someone
must be using some 3ware management utilities, I wonder what it is they're
using, and how they made them work?

RE: 3ware management tools for NetBSD using the FreeBSD binaries?

For NetBSD/i386 (at least in -current sometime back in the September
timeframe), 3dmd for FreeBSD seemed to work on my 8506.  It logged "issues"
about the controller being reset which seemed bogus, and you couldn't write
to the card (say to create/rebuild sets), however you could graphically
monitor the status (I only tried failing a single Raid5 component, but that
"worked" per the GUI).

No solution for non-i386 yet, and nothing comprehensive like the 3ware CLI.
:-(

I really wish there was some kind of solution, but alas...I don't see
anything out in the opensource community at all.
