Thanks, I have gotten GENERIC to compile and boot. The key seemed to be
using sample.makefile in place of the one in the distrabution.
I am still having problems with the location of libkern.a. I'll look into
that more as time permits.
Is there a recogmended source for the non-kernel/non-memory resident parts of
BSD? And if so how tricky is it to rebuild functions such as `ps`, which
broke with the new kernel?
PS. Can anyone tell me what the serial controller chip is in the macIIx so
I don't have to take mine all apart to find out?
Thanks, Kevin
