I have sendmail bugs in netbsd-1.3, which the
faq suggests upgrading to netbsd-1.3.1. Does
Jason's post mean we need to download some
src files to compile, or just binaries on top of
netbsd-1.3.1? Should i wait for UVM before
installing netbsd-1.3.1?
Does UVM mean the kernel will no longer dump
into db> for a mandatory reboot and fsck, but
as a bogus program dump its registers like in
Windows95.
By the way, is NetBSD-1.3.1 compiled for 68040
optimization? I saw a control panel once in MacOS
that allowed the CPU registers to be altered for 040
performance, or MUCH slower for 68000-68030
compiled programs. When i look at the include
files it appears it is set up for 68020, but many
makefiles compile with a gcc flag for 68020-68040
optimization. Is that how the kernel binary are at
ftp.netbsd.org?
Thanks for any help or directions for help.
Sincerely,
