NetBSD 3.99.5 (GENERIC.ABLE) #0: Wed Jun 8 01:24:59 BST 2005
Architecture: arm
Machine: cats
>Description:
distribution media (including iso images built with
cd src/etc; make iso-image
should include bootable kernels for folks using ABLE firmware.
The sysinst program should include both kernels as selectable
alternatives and a cdrom should have something like netbsd.able
as an alternative image in the root directory.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to boot a cats kernel installation image on a machine with
ABLE firmware.
>Fix:
The kernel variants are already available, so it's just
a matter of tweaking the build system to build the right images
and put then into the configuration matrix.
