2012Q1 package binaries for NetBSD/macppc 5.1

Hi,

I've uploaded the results of a bulk build of pkgsrc-2012Q1 for
NetBSD/macppc 5.1, as well as the first rebuild to

   ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/powerpc/5.1_2012Q1/

A total of 14GB of packages have been uploaded, consisting of
10431 packages.

The latest rebuild was done with sources from May 16 2012.

For the packages which are not architecture-specific (should be
the vast majority), these packages should also be usable on other
powerpc ports.

As warned a long while ago, the axe has now fallen on the oldest
5.0 packages (based on 2009Q4).  It's also likely that the oldest
packages for 5.1 will be removed (based on 2011Q2).

Regards,

- Håvard

valkyriefb as console


Hello,

a while ago I wrote a driver for the onboard video circuitry found in  
the Performa 6360 ( in OF it shows up as /valkyrie ) - supposedly it  
isn't properly supported by OF but as it turns out it is. Kind of.
Just setting output-device to /valkyrie gives me a funny looking but  
working console, but for some reason any attempt on loading ofwboot  
fails with 'CLAIM failed'. With output-device set to /bandit/ 
3Dfx,Voodoo3 it boots just fine. The bits & pieces needed to run the  
system console on valkyriefb should be in place, if I just could get  
it to load anything ( genfb can't work since OF still doesn't give us  
a framebuffer address and it would need glue code to attach to  
mainbus ).
So, any ides what could cause this and how to get around it? Sure,  
valkyrie is unaccelerated but as a simple console it's doing alright  
and people might want to use the PCI slot for something else, like  
fast ethernet or a USB2 card.

have fun
Michael

boot from network, use local filesystem

Hello,
I'm still stuck about booting from hard drive, so I'll try in other way.

Is it posible to load the bootloader and kernel from network, and then
mount a local partition (/dev/wd0a) as root filesystem?

If it is possible, I will need the server to boot. But once it boots, I
won't be depending on the server while the laptop is turned on.

Greetings.

BootX (linux version) and the install kernel.

Hello,
I would love to install NetBSD on my Power Mac 6500 and use it as at 
development platform for all my old computers and other stuff.

My problem is that I can't boot the installation kernel and I would love 
it if some brave soul could make Bootx boot netbsd. Mainly since it is 
so easy to use compared to ofwboot.xcf, also it makes it possible to 
dual boot easily.

Using 5.1.2 Xorg with Rage128 driver

Hi,

just an information for all those who are trying to run Xorg on a ATI Rage
board with NetBSD-5 (Driver "r128"):

To make it work you have to insert the option
        Option        "UseFBDev" "False"
in the Device section of your xorg.conf. Otherwise the Xorg server will
complain about a missing "fbdevhw" module.

This seems to be fixed for NetBSD-6, but unfortunately it wasn't pulled up
for 5.

Re: Booting a modularized NetBSD 6 kernel (ffs.kmod)

AFAIK the new kernel modules are not supported by any PPC platform at
the moment. The GENERIC kernel has still everything included.

There is a known problem with the NetBSD-6 ofwboot. I hope to find some
time to resolve the remaining issues in the following weeks.

Theoretically the new ofwboot should be able to read the Apple Partition Map
and find the kernel in the NetBSD root partition automatically, so
  boot hd:,ofwboot.xcf
should work.

Otherwise you can revert to the NetBSD 5.x ofwboot, until the problems
are fixed.
