Greetings,

I have a 5000/120 (upgraded to 5000/133) happily running NetBSD/pmax
1.3_ALPHA.  I am trying to upgrade it to a more recent version, but
newer kernels don't seem to want to run.

netbsd.snap.aout is from
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/pmax/snapshot/1999-02-06/binary/sets/kern.tgz

I can't build a new kernel myself.  I think it's because my ld is
ancient, and newer ld's won't run under my old kernel.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
