Re: TS-7200 16mb kernel image

["idatum" <idatum%comcast.net@localhost>]

Hi David -- what is 'cvs -z' lossage? :-)

I build the kernel image and then from /usr/src/distrib/evbarm/gzboot/gzimg, 
run:

   make  DESTDIR=/usr/src/obj/destdir.evbarm  MACHINE=evbarm

The output from make looks like this:

Populating gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60e60000
rm -f gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60e60000.kern.gz
gzip -9c /usr/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/obj/TS7200/netbsd-wd0.bin > 
gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60e60000.kern.gz
/usr/src/obj/tooldir.NetBSD-5.0_STABLE-i386/bin/nbcat 
/usr/src/obj/destdir.evbarm/usr/mdec/gzboot_TS7200_0x60e60000.bin 
gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60e60000.kern.gz > 
gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60e60000
rm -f gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60e60000.gz
gzip -9c gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60e60000 > 
gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60e60000.gz

Is this a problem with my version of gzip?

Thanks - Joel
