Well a very strange and weird reset of the SRM com1=5Fbaud value caused=

all console access to fail, we had to install a VGA card and connect a
keyboard and monitor to get it reset properly.  However I finally got t=
o
testing kernels again late this afternoon.

With the following change I've finally managed to get a 1.6.x kernel to=

almost boot.  Looks like the next step will be to backport the current
isp(4) driver to the netbsd-1-6 branch.

Perhaps I'm a bit too optimistic about how much of the KVM I can use fo=
r
NBUF though -- maybe I should drop back to 384MB as on i386=3F  Trying =
to
use the 1/4 rule as it is implemented on the sparc did nothing to limit=

the value of nbuf.

What is the total amount of KVM available on alpha in 1.6.x=3F
