I'd love to try that, see what it does on the laptop from hell... but
unfortunately, I don't have the disk space on my NetBSD laptop, and I'm
still having occasional SCSI reading problems (nulls inserted, among other
things, when compiling) which would make compiling a usable kernel with it
impossible.  Much less often now, but it still happens, since my system
won't handle sbc's.  By any chance do you have an NCRSCSI kernel anywhere
lying around that's patched with it?

On another, related note, does anybody have a working cross-compiling
environment for MkLinux or linux-pmac yet?  If so, could someone tell me
how that's done? That'd make compiling kernels a breeze (and fast as
anything...). 


TIA,
David
