Ok, have build the smaller kernel (generic from version 3 is 5.4 meg,
the one that i have built [netbsd-current] is 5.0 meg... so we know
that it is small enough... right?)

..... have also built and installed the latest ofwboot.xcf (i think -
it still prints out revision 1.10 though)...

But unfortunately the same problem... here is the complete output i
get (copied by hand, so errors may be present) after typing "boot" in
open firmare prompt:

boot load-size=c5dc adler32=aa93accb

loading XCOFF

tsize=c2c0 dsize=23c bsize=29c0 entry=e00000

And that's it - nothing more :-)

Kind regards,
Leon.

PS - The reason for me to be compiling the latest kernel is that I am
actually after the new firewire drivers support (fwcontrol user util
as well)... so... as an alternative - is there sort of a stable branch
of NetBSD with new firewire support and if so - how do I cvs it then?
