Hi,

I want to create a set of custom boot floppies for AMD64. I can't install
NetBSD/AMD64 on my AMD64 system because of some 'interrupt' issue with
AMD64 and my SATA stuff. I've found some users describing a work-around
for this issue by adding "option ACPI_PCI_FIXUP" to my kernel.
I currently have a NetBSD/i386 2.0 system up and running on my AMD64
system. I have cross-compiled a INSTALL and GENERIC kernels with the the
new 'option'. I have noticed there are some scripts for creating
boot/install floppies, but these don't seem to work for me (maybe it
thinks I'm trying to create an i386 floppy set?).
Just wondering if anyone has ever ran into this, or maybe someone has a
solution.
Thanks for your time.

Marc
