Hi Mark,

Have been working away from home again, hence no replies for some time...

I downloaded the current kernal last wekend (4/5th April), and it booted OK,
reporting the Cumana SCSI quite happily. The assorted scsi bits appeared in /dev, including /dev/ss.

I then found the sane web page, and downloaded it, plus various X scanner
drivers.
Sadly I have been unable even to configure sane, as it has no inherent support
for arm32 NetBSD. I have tried to tweak this, but to no avail, it seems that the "unknown" of "arm32-unknown-netbsd" upsets it. Also I have a feeling I have
screwed the compiler set somehow, as no major programs will build. I used the
cc1 and cc1plus from the 1.3Alpha CD, with the 1.3 release set from
ftp.netbsd.org, but with no luck.

Is there any simple, single step method for getting a working comp set yet?

I am beginning to run out of ideas here, so any help would be greatly
appreciated!
