I've finally installed 386bsd 0.1 (my problems were due to lack of
time though :-). I've applied whatever patches I managed to snarf from
the net, some of which I question.
The tty_ring patch from Mark Eichin (eichin@athena.mit.edu) in
<EICHIN.92Jul21092841@tweedledumber.mit.edu> says that the rbp and cpp
paramters to nextc() were reversed - not so in my code...
The new-and-improved execve() no longer accepts '#!' magic
codes... This is best demonstrated by which(1), a csh command, when
running /bin/sh. I haven't even tried doing anything with this (yet).
The samples for named(8), the bind server, are unfortunately no
longer part of the distribution. I believe the should be placed back
in (unless they're included in the etc01).
How easy is it to add 720K drive support? [I haven't looked!]
And now back to fiddling...
