Compile a new kernel.
The last time I tried, "options GENERIC" and "swap generic" didn't like you
specifying a second drive. IMO, this is a bug, but I do not have the C-power
to fix the problem and send a patch (but I might work on it anyway).
Anyway, what you want in your kernel conf file is something like:
config netbsd root on sd0 swap on sd0 and sd1
# options GENERIC
Also, you probably need to specify sd1b in your /etc/fstab.
Here's what I have:
/dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/wd0b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/wd1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/wd0b /tmp mfs rw,-s64512
/dev/wd0e /var ffs rw 1 2
/dev/wd0f /usr ffs rw 1 3
/dev/wd1a /usr/X11R6 ffs rw 1 4
/dev/wd1e /usr/local ffs rw 1 5
/dev/wd1f /home ffs rw 1 6
As for your other two questions (XFree complaining about ioctl and
bi-directional serial patch), I don't know. Sorry.
Enjoy.
