Hi,

i am sure i am doing something wrong during an update of installed
(and functional) netbsd v3.0 on iBook G4 to netbsd-current ...

1) cvs with the latest tree from anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot

setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
setenv CVS_RSH ssh
cd /usr/src
cvs -d $CVSROOT update -dPA

2) build tools and kernel

mkdir /usr/obj
cd /usr/src
./build.sh tools kernel=GENERIC

3) copy netbsd kernel from kernel build dir (e.g.
/usr/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/obj/GENERIC/netbsd ...) to the hfs
partition (hfs partition has only 2 files: ofwboot.xcf and netbsd)

4) reboot... and the booting process freezes right after "start=0x100000"

Have tried the aforementioned steps with DIAGNOSTIC and w/o it (in
kernel config) - same problem...


any ideas (in short - netbsd-current compiles but does not boot an iBook G4)?

Leon.
