Re: amdgpu kernel module

[maya%NetBSD.org@localhost]

This requires the latest current

Build source with /etc/mk.conf containing:
MKAMDGPUFIRMWARE=yes

Adding the line:
SUBDIR+= amdgpu

to sys/modules/Makefile

Unpack gpu firmware and modules in / (or all sets)

and then edit the first entry in /boot.cfg:
Change:
-boot netbsd
+load amdgpu; boot netbsd

No need to make any changes to the kernel.
