I tried the same today on my A3000 with NetBSD 1.2.

I managed to modify the patch file "kern.diff", so that the kernel
compiled without any warnings (if anybody out there is interested
in that file, I can send it).

Me too.

The same for me.

As Ruben van Staveren <staveren@bromo.PTF.HRO.NL> pointed out,
you have to be in single-user mode for modload.
I tried that and got the module loaded. modstat now reports:

Type    Id  Off Loadaddr Size Info     Rev Module Name
DEV       0  26 00526000 0010   528154   1 audio

So far, so good. Now I am running into trouble, since
I always get "Device not configured" errors...   :-(

# cat samp.au > aud0
aud0: Device not configured.
# ./autest aud0
using dev aud0
open: Device not configured
#./auconfig aud0
aud0: Device not configured

It seems, that the kernel doesn't know about the aud? devices
(major device number 25). Anybody an idea?
BTW, where (except from /dev/MAKEDEV) are the device numbers
defined in the kernel sources?

Also, is there anybody working on a 'real' audio device
for the Amiga (similar to that described in audio(4))?

Rainer.
