Hello-

I have an Amiga 4000/040 running NetBSD 1.0.  Only problem is, my monitor
is a standard SVGA, so I can't run any screenmodes below 31kHz.
I need a way to get NetBSD to boot to, i.e., Multiscan Productivity, because
I think that's a 31kHz screenmode.  I tried the -A option on loadbsd, it
does DblNTSC which is just below 30kHz, so the monitor won't lock it.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

If someone could tell me what I could do with binpatch to the kernel (i.e.
the symbol name and the value I need to patch it to), or even compile
me a new kernel, that would be great too.

Please send e-mail to mdugas@tiac.net, as I don't read this group often.

Thanks.
