My last sup & compile before the libc breakage didn't go so well,
the kernel refuses to configure swap (mentioned that before here). 
Since it sounds like libc is fixed for the pmax, I re-suped last night
and built another kernel on my 3100.  Unfortunately I can't tell if it
helped the swap problem 'cuz the new kernel won't even get that far. 
Here's what I get:

DECstation 2100 or 3100 (PMAX)
real mem  = 25165824
avail mem = 20267008
using 614 buffers containing 2514944 bytes of memory

[at this point the system locks with the hard drive light on]

    Went back to the 9/7 kernel and it's working fine (with the
exception of swap...  =)  Any thoughts?

Also a few comments.  Obviously from the above there's a missing \n
after mainbus0...  =)  Also, I've always been curious, why does my
R2000/2010 get recognized as a 3000/3010?  I believe it always has, is
there just no way to tell them apart?  Also, out of curiosity, what's
the "/0b" for the caches?  Is it not figuring out the linesize or
something?

    Thanks in advance.
