I compiled you A3000 and also cannot cp vmunix /dev/reload.  However I
am able to boot this kernel if I loadbsd it.

Yes I looked at the (significant amount BTW) of options that I had
compared with yours since my /dev/reload works.  Here is the list of
options I have and you don't (in A3000) the list is sorted in the
order in which I think problems may arise, i.e. the first one is most
suspect:

DEBUG 
PANICWAIT
NFS
NFSSERVER
NFSCLIENT
ISOFS
FDESC
PORTAL
BANKDEVPAGER
GRF
GRF_OCS
GRF_PAL
GRF_A2024
GRF_CUSTOM_CHIP_MODES (I don't know if I ever used this)
HAVE_USL_UFS (I am gonna grep this to see if its even neeeded)
LKM (I know this isn't it, becuase I just added it)

Note though that I use the old ld to link my kernels and am unaware if
the new one works. (kernel-ld on my system is ld.old from the last bin dist)


Chris.
