I am new to NetBSD and Open Source software in general. In order to
get my i486 to initialize its network card, i have to rebuild its
kernel. So i could learn a bit about the system, i decided to compile
the kernels on both of my machines. The i486 compiled fine and i got
my network card working. However, the other computer panicked and
printed some strange gibberish to the screen.
The machine is a Compaq LTE 5280 laptopp using 32MB core with
120MHtz Pentium. The error messages are as follows:
> /var/tmp/ccpvdBIN.s: Assembler messages:
> /var/tmp/ccpvdBIN.s:107: Warning: indirect lcall without `*'

The first set i believe i can safely ignore. The same set showed up
on my other machine yet didn't affect the boot process or its efficiency
or function. At least that i can see. If someone out there would be kind
enough to explain this to me, i would be very thankful. And yes, i have
RTMed.
Thanks in advance,
