Hi!
Could someone help me? I've borrowed an iMac to debug the USB and wscons code,
but I cannot boot. The reason is the well-known(?)
panic: startup: cannot allocate VM for buffers
So according to the FAQ I need to remove RAM (I don't want to on this borrowed
machine since it seems non-trivial) or recompile the kernel. Well, I can't
recompile the kernel, obviously.
So, could some kind sould compile a netbsd-current kernel for macppc with
options BUFPAGES=800
and send it to me, or tell me wheer to get it.
And I need it NOW, because this is the only time I have to do this debugging.

PS. How can you have a kernel that can't event boot machine with a lot
of memory as the default GENERIC? It doesn't sound very generic to me. :)
