All,
I've finally moved up to the 950702 bin-dist of NetBSD, and everything
is pretty much working OK. I do have a few questions, hopefully someone
can shed some light:
* I have a problem with one of my SCSI drives and need to inhibit sync
SCSI. I know it's one of the _xxxx_inhibit_sync flags, but there are
three of them and I can't remember which one it is. Could someone let
me know which of _siop_inhibit_sync, _sbic_inhibit_sync, and
_a???_inhibit_sync I should be turning on?
* Since moving to -current, I haven't been able to reboot by copying
/netbsd to /dev/reload. I haven't rebuilt /dev since updating--do I
need to do that? Is it causing the problem?
* PPP has stopped working since I went to -current. Everything seems
normal, and I'm connected right now using SLIP, but starting the pppd
doesn't bring the network up. (ping even reports, "Network is down".)
Has anyone used PPP with the 950702 pppd (2.1pl1)?
Thanks in advance,
-Frank
