Hi all,

would like to let you know that changes commited to cvs by Michael
about 23 hours ago have made netbsd-current bootable (thanks Michael
:-) on my iBook G4. I have just tested by uptating with cvs and doing
complete build:

1) cvs with the latest tree from anoncvs@...:/cvsroot

setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@...:/cvsroot
setenv CVS_RSH ssh
cd /usr/src
cvs -d $CVSROOT update -dPAC

2) build tools and kernel

mkdir /usr/obj
cd /usr/src
./build.sh tools kernel=GENERIC

3) copy netbsd kernel from kernel build dir (e.g.
/usr/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/obj/GENERIC/netbsd ...) to the hfs
partition (hfs partition has only 2 files: ofwboot.xcf and netbsd)

4) reboot... and... the KERNEL BOOTS :-)

Chris - may be you can try the latest cvs as well for your latest
PowerBook issues...

Well as for me - on to:
# ./build.sh -U -D /usr/xxxbuild distribution
# ./build.sh -U -D /usr/xxxbuild install=/

The 2 questions from me at the moment:
1) do I need to be running the new kernel when executing those
scripts, or should it not matter (i don's think it will matter but it
don't hurt to ask...) ?
2) when my new (netbsd-curren) boots - it flashes the screen (from-to
blank and some garbage) a couple of times half way through the booting
process - it does not do it with the netbsd v3 release ... is this
screen flushing supposed to happen in current/newest kernels?

Kind regards
Leon Zadorin...
