Hello,

1/

I have had [a lot of] trouble when switching between MacOS and NetBSD,
because NetBSD does not seems to see that time has passed between his
resurections...

The file /sys/arch/macppc/macppc/clock.c seems to indicate that the system
can setup a correct date at sartup only on ADB macs.

Does one of you plan to to provide support for the clock on recent
macintoshes that don't have ADB buses ?

BTW, how the Realtime clock is implemented on these new macs ? (iMac, G3,
G4) ?

2/

The `ps' comand works only when the procfs is mounted. The first 2 methods
this program uses do not work (a problem with lib_kvm or kvm_core or
somethinglike that). It's a bit annoying. And, for the same reason, `top'
does not work at all... (with a kernel that I have compiled on my G4).
Does that means that I should recompile ALL the sources of the current-tree
? If so, I would be happy if you had some advice to give to me, beause I'm =
a
pure newbie in system compilation, CVS use, etc...

Thank you,
