I an 'arc' bootable - installable CDROM image "cd15.iso"
for Netbsd 1.5 at ftp://guiduck.com/incoming/netbsd/arc/ .
Installation is simple ... use run a program
from arc firmare, the program name is cd:\install
for installing the 'generic' console...
I also did a 'pccons' kernel version (located in the same image)which is
reported to support 'one' version of the magnum.
I only tested the image with a NEC Risc 'ImageStation'
( pica ) ... PROBABLY will not work with any other
arc model...

I am no longer working on arc stuff.... I need the
storage space back will be dropping image off next
week... anyone want to step up archive it somewhere ?

That would be really great! I have a mips magnum 4000sc-50 (running in
little endian/arc mode) which I was not able to set up yet (well, 
mostly because I had no time to do so). I wrote to this list appr. 
1 1/2 year ago and got quite a lot of help, but at this stage the 
kernel did not recognise the scsi-controller which is a FAS216 chip.

Anybody could give me some hints and maybe a kernel to boot from a 
floppy since I have no cross compiling tools right now?

Any help would be appreciated,

thanks,mic
