Hi Andrew:
Just noticed that:
ftp:/ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/src/
is back online in the new FTP server. So I downloaded all of the
source tarballs and was able to easily compile and install
everything. Now I am able to compile kernels from NetBSD-current
with ease. :-)
Thanks for the tip about upgrading my toolchain.
Now I just need to play around with the kernel config, so that I
can get a kernel to boot without panic on my ACPI-only, JVC-Victor
Interlink MP-XP7310 sub-notebook. (Both unmodified GENERIC &
GENERIC_LAPTOP from current causes a kernel panic during boot on
my sub-notebook.)
Alicia.
