        After one year of waiting (hoping)

          http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-cobalt/2010/06/05/msg000425.html

        I followed Izumi's advice

          http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-cobalt/2010/06/05/msg000426.html

        to send-pr: Longer than one year now I cannot run a -current
        kernel on my cobalt qube 2!

        Beside some panicing in the meantime (see my older post/link
        above) now a -current kernel (compiled from yesterdays
        sources) gets stuck at:

          [...]
          root on wd0a dumps on wd0b
          root file system type: ffs
          pid 1(init): ABI set to O32 (e_flags=0x1007)

        ... and no further go!

        But: The same kernel boots fine under gxemul (simulating
        cobalt hardware)!?

        Last working -current kernel on my qube:

>How-To-Repeat:
        Try to boot/run an actual -current kernel on a cobalt qube 2 machine.

        unknown
