Thanks, I got 2.0.2 running with those kernels. Unfortunately I seem to
have lost the ability to do reboots now. My 1.6.2 gained that ability
after not working at first. Don't know what I did right to get that
working before.
Is there any reason why the official NetBSD 2x doesn't have the right
patches to work out of the box on the MobilePro?
