 I downloaded and compiled netbsd-1-4-PATCH001 with this patch.

 First, netbsd-1-4-PATCH001 works out of the box with the Spectrum. Finally!

 The screenblanker works, sort of. I'm running it as

 /usr/sbin/screenblank -d 300 -f /dev/grf3 (or should this be /dev/console?)

 and it blanks the screen fine, but fails to unblank on mouse or keyboard
 action. I have to type (blind) kill -TERM `cat /var/run/screenblank.pid`
 to get the console back.


 Another problem I had with the 1.4 kernels: the following message to
 syslog and console, appearing in regular intervals:

 inetd[pid]: pmap_set: 100001 1 17 65534: Undefined error: 0
 (twice)

 or

 inetd[pid]: pmap_set: 100001 2 17 65534: No message of desired type
                              |    ^^^^^
                              |    can be 65533
                              ^ can be 1, 2, 3 ...

 Any ideas? I'm not running NFS or rpc deamons, nor are there user/group ids
 of 6553[34] (unless these numbers are signed shorts interpreted as unsigned;
 the default user or group id for nobody is in the 3276[0-7] range).
