I am now using the latest RISCPC current kernel that Mark has provided on
ftp://ftp.ph.kcl.ac.uk/pub/acorn/RiscBSD/kernels/

This seems to work fine except for a few problems I have seen:
1) I does not recognize my ICS, oldest type, ideA IDE card:
   podule1  at podulebus0 : man=0031   : prod=0074 : SF & PS IDE Interface
   podule1:  not configured
   I tried the test kernel as well, to no avail.
   NOTE: I do not have any IDE drives attached to it now.
2) I have to use the ANT Internet Suite before I boot NetBSD
   in order to get ne0 to work properly (EtherH).
   If I don't, all I get is a device timeout when I try to connect
   to my Shiva AccessPort ISDN router.
3) dmesg does not work. It gives me a kvm_read error.
   I guess I need to recompile dmesg or the userland library.


Apart from these two small problems they seem work fine.

This is just to let you know that I have tried them out, and am
using the RISCPC one regularly with 1.3_ALPHA.
