System: NetBSD egalite.jkmrc.uq.edu.au 1.5.2 NetBSD 1.5.2 (GENERIC-after-SA2002-001-ptrace-1.5.patch) #0: Wed Jan 23 20:24:55 EST 2002 ray@egalite.jkmrc.uq.edu.au:/usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/GENERIC-after-SA2002-001-ptrace-1.5.patch alpha


>Description:
The KERNFS file system is not defined in the port-alpha GENERIC kernel so the
error message

    mount_kernfs: kernfs on /kern: Operation not supported by device

appears during the boot sequence, just after the

    Mounting all filesystems...

message.

>How-To-Repeat:
	boot an alpha with the GENERIC kernel.
>Fix:
	Remove the # character at the beginning of line 49 of

    /sys/arch/alpha/conf/GENERIC
