Hiya! simple question: is a Iyonix port being considered or better already in progress? and how long will it take to emerge from current to a stable version. I suspect 1.6.1 would be far to early?regards, Erhard F.

Not that I know of, but since it's based around a standard XScale north bridge (which is already supported by NetBSD), one shouldn't be _that_ much effort if anyone's got the time (I'm afraid I'm too busy to do one even if someone were to give me an Iyonix). >and how long will it take to emerge from current to a stable version.

Hiya All, you might have thought that the Acorn32 port was sleeping a lot ... well to be honest it was for some time :-/ until i got some more time and inspiration to work on things.... I've created yet another new bootloader from scratch called `boot32' wich can boot NetBSD-1.6 ELF kernel images. Please report problems to this list or to me when things fail.... It consists of just one file called `boot32,ffa' (i.e. a RISC OS module) that can be RMRun or can be called using *boot32. Its syntax (not in the module yet :-/ sorry) is : *boot32 [-a] [kernelname [parameters]] It can load both normal kernels as gzipped kernels wich is a relief for some i know(Continue reading)esp. the installation of new NetBSD/acorn32 systems will most likely be much simplified by this move. Also the FAQ has been made up to date and i've added a section about NC booting since this is trivial but has a steep learning curve i've you've never done it before. On the TODO list is now : being able to load mode definition files (MDFs) into a running kernel and to allow swiching screenmodes ! Cheers, Reinoud Zandijk, portmaster NetBSD/acorn32
Hello Reinoud I was pleasant surprised with the new bootloader for acorn32. Eventhough I am not longer actively using netbsd on my RPC I couldn't resist trying it. I am sorry to tell you that it failed. What I did was the following: 1 make a directory in wich I placed the boot32 module and the netbsd-Generic kernel of 8 sep 2002 2 set the working directory 3 Increased wimpslot to something big > 16 Mbyte 4 Double clicked on the module The initial fase looked ok, the last text from RISC OS was: bye bye from RISC OS and then it started the kernel. However the kernel paniced with: panic: initarm: Failed to align the kernel page directory I used RISC OS 4.33 (Select 2i3) to boot from. I hope this wil give you some help in developing the boot loader. Leo -- -- Leo Smiers !Flash 0.410.1.1 http://members.ams.chello.nl/l.smiers(Continue reading)

Hi, I commited a fix for the "etherleak" bug to the sys/arch/acorn32/podulebus/if_ie.c driver. Please test it if you have the hardware. -- -- Manuel Bouyer <bouyer <at> antioche.eu.org> NetBSD: 23 ans d'experience feront toujours la difference --
Just curious here, why does the acorn32 sysinst not offer DHCP? This is quite useful on i386 (even if it is currently partially broken), and I miss it every time I reinstall NetBSD on my RiscPC. -- -- Gillette - the best a man can forget

I looked into it once, but didn't get any further... Chris
Hello all! In my opinion it would be a good idea of backporting the changes in ld.elf_so, as some programs (especially on slower platforms, for example acorn32) are almost unusable without the new changes. What is the general opinion about this? Frank
