Very fine, but 2 questions on this...

1) I just tried to boot this on my 4000/90, with this result:
[blah...]
dz0 at vsbus0 csr 0x25000000 vec 524 ipl 15 maskbit 3
dz0: 4 lines
lkc0 at dz0
panic: ptelen fault in system space: addr 0 pc 0
syncing disks... done

2) VAXstation 2000 MFM support is not compiled in in newer kernels. Does this
have some good reason? I tried to enable this, but it is missing some files in
-current. Ok, i didn't try to compile the 1.4.2-sources, just wanted to do so
on my 4000/90, but this didn't work due to 1) :-)

Is there any kernel around with really working 4000/90-support, best would be
with DMA-SCSI included, so i can set up the box completely local to enjoy
the power to compile the kernels in maybe less than 1 hour...

any hints welcome...

...Michael
