They were updated a couple of hours before I posted to the
mailing list.

There is a twist, though.  Instead of updating ALL of sys/arch to
"ppcoea-renovation", I only updated the PowerPC ports except pmppc.
This was done because sys/arch/pmppc is removed in "ppcoea-renovation"
(and instead lives under sys/arch/evbppc), but building macppc or prep
kernels still references a couple of files in "sys/arch/pmppc", which
still exists separately in -current.

I tried wiping out my tools and obj directories and updating sys/arch
completely to "ppcoea-renovation", but something was still looking for
files in "sys/arch/pmppc", which no-longer existed.  Perhaps I should
try again.

Is it possible for the boot loader to set up a USB serial device for
console?  How about a PCI serial port card with 16550A-type UARTs?
There's no serial hardware in the machine and the only third-party
ESCC devices are long since discontinued and unavailable.

It'll take me a while, since I'll have to revert to netbsd-4 to get
anything that runs.
