I have tried both the 1.4_BETA distribution kernel, and the
netbsd-fasterconsole kernel, both without success :(
I have prepared a miniroot installation and then use loadbsd -b <kernel>.
After the kernel is loaded, the screen turns grey, with an up to +/- 5cm
wide black frame, then when the kernel boots (I assume) the console
switches to garble mode.
Would it be possible to supply me with an AmigaOS binary of
binpatch and some good instructions?
