To all those interested in Mips R3000 Magnums - a new milestone has been
reached!

Single user was achieved a few days ago. I have been busy trying to
get the dynamic linker to work and solving a few problems talking to the
filesystems.   I have managed to solve the major problems and the machine
is running in a stable condition at present.  I can even mount filesystems
using NFS!!!

If anyone has an old Mips 3x30 machine in the corner it might be a good
time to dust it off and find an ASCII terminal that still works.

The userland is based on a NetBSD/newsmips shapshot which is slightly out
of sync with NetBSD 1.4.2 which is where I have been basing the port.

There is only a skeleton clockchip driver written, plus there is currently
no microtime support - that is next on my list to do.   Another issue is
to do with the console interface - it doesn't want to be opened by getty
when the machine is in multi-user mode.
For those who want to try booting a test kernel or perhaps getting
userland running I will put together a few notes and a test kernel over
the next few days.
