Hello Takahiro,
Hello Takahiro,
Thanks for sharing your code with me (and the rest
of the netbsd comunity :)
I tried to apply your patches to NetBSD-current and
have some problems with this. I understand that the
patches are meant for 1.6.1_RC3 but only have -current
here and thought it would be worth a try. One problem
is that I don't have the following files in -current:
sys/arch/i386/i386/conf.c
sys/arch/i386/include/conf.h
so the patch fails for this two file. Do you know what
happend to them in -current? I just ignored this and
went on. I assume I have to add the new devices to my
kernel-config so I added:
bios at isa?
pseudo-device cmos
and created the devices:
crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 33, 0 Mar 31 01:20 bios
crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 34, 0 Mar 31 01:19 cmos
Then I did:
firebird# config FIREBIRD
FIREBIRD:317: invalid device name `bios'
After removing the "bios" entry from my config, I could
a least configure & build a new kernel which said during
boot: "cmos: attached." But when I try to access /dev/cmos
I get "/dev/cmos: Device not configured".
Do you have any idea what I can to make this work?
thanks very much for your help
Werner
