I got the new netbsd.GENERIC, and everything works now. I've set up my
MicroVAX II (running NetBSD) as a boot and NFS server since I don't have
any local drives on the 4/260. I've already got the 4/260 fully booted
into multiuser mode and compiling bash (it's first test).
My only complaint so far is that the framebuffer (cg3 but NetBSD thinks
it is a cg2) console performance really *sucks*. Seriously... even my
VAXstation 2000 is faster. Is this normal? Is it the hardware or just
the way it is being used?
