As the subject says, I have 2 Milan kernels uploaded to ftp.netbsd.org:
	/pub/NetBSD/arch/atari/snapshot/milan/MILAN-ISAIDE.gz
	/pub/NetBSD/arch/atari/snapshot/milan/MILAN-PCIIDE.gz

The Milan port is still a bit experimental and hence some points of
interest and warning:
   - Currently, no more than 16MB of memory is supported. I do not have
     the specs yet to detect more...
   - No PCI/ISA cards are supported yet (except for the VGA card).
   - Only the first IDE bus is supported (somehow I don't get interrupts
     on the second bus).
   - If you partitioned your disks with byteswapping, use the MILAN_PCIIDE
     kernel. Otherwise, use the MILAN_ISAIDE kernel. I expect the MILAN_PCIIDE
     version to be slightly faster since it uses DMA while the other uses
     PIO transfers. I intend to do a little benchmarking on this later.
   - Tested Hardware:
	- Floppy controller
	- Primary IDE channel
        - Serial console on COM1
        - VGA console on S3Trio
        - PC-keyboard
   - If you want to test the kernels, you can take the installfs and the
     binary sets from either the 1.5.1_BETA2 snapshot or the 1.5 release
     distribution. It is a nuisance that <backspace> does not work during
     the installer - use <Cntrl>H instead. When the installed system is first
     booted, you will have to change 'ttye0' and 'ttye1' entries in /etc/ttys
     to 'ttyE0' and 'ttyE1' (This is due to the ite -> wscons change). Also
     you need to make the wscons devices:
         mknod /dev/ttyE0 c 41 0
         mknod /dev/ttyE1 c 41 1

Well, thats about is for now,

Enjoy!

Leo.
