>Environment:
1.6.1 RC1 kernel fetched from releng.
>Description:
trying to boot a 1.6.1 cats install kernel fails with:
netbsd: 1941504+2011136Input/output error
Which suggests the kernel is smaller than the a.out header claims.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot a cats 1.6.1 kernel.
>Fix:
I suspect that skrll's fix in mainline with version 1.11 of:
src/distrib/cats/instkernel/Makefile
may cure this, I'm going to investigate, but wanted to raise a pr to track this, with 1.6.1 being just around the corner.
