Can you post the precise messages?  It should claim a podulebus with no
podules is installed, I believe.

 so i guess thats where it goes wrong.... do you have a

I'll try to build at least another kernel snapshot sometime soon, but I'm
currently somewhat hampered by my home YP server's having lost its root

I believe you should be able to use PPP under both RISC OS and NetBSD, but

option on an A4.
