i put a new alpha kernel source snapshot up for FTP, at:

	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/alpha/sys.950811.tar.gz

no new kernel binaries, and no new complete snapshot, yet, though i
hope to do at least the former soon.


i think the biggest notes about the new kernel:

	(1) NEW, IMPROVED, BIGGER, BETTER, well, mostly rewritten
	    PCI support.  8-)  should now support multiple PCI-bearing
	    chipsets sanely, and is known to work OK with PCI-PCI
	    bridges.

	(2) console support now works, for 8-bit TGA frame buffers and
	    for VGA frame buffers.  32-bit TGA frame buffers are not
	    yet supported (though i now have access to one of them, to
	    play with).

	(3) TurboChannel support is ... suffering, due to my lack of a
	    TC machine.

Additionally, i'm slowly adding support for more machine types
(e.g. i've been working on AlphaStation 600 support), and other people
apparently are going to give other machine types a crack, as well.

if you're using this kernel, you also want to grab:
	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/etc/etc.alpha/...
		.../ttys
		.../MAKEDEV

and will need to update your device nodes and MAKDEV file.
