Subject line says it all. I got NetBSD 0.9. I've done the FAQ route,
looked at NetBSD source on sun-lamp, FreeBSD on cdrom, etc. Most seem
to be variants of the same thing. I'm thinking of doing it myself, but
why re-invent the wheel? Anyway, if I do it, it'll be a real hack! :-(
Also, I want to run this on a "ast style" four 16550 mux'ed serial
board. There is a NetBSD-current driver (ast.c) that calls the real
code in the com driver. There is also a real mux'ed driver called sio.c
in the FreeBSD source.
The sio.c driver may take some work to get running (being it's from
FreeBSD), but I really want the most reliable driver (since serial lines
are *always* a problem!).
Any ideas?
