I've put the binaries in pub/NetBSD/arch/pmax/snapshot/1.4_ALPHA-1999-04-05
on ftp.netbsd.org, but with the pre-reclaim_pool kernels.  These binaries
have rebuilt themselves.  I haven't rebuilt the X sets yet - I'll probably
get that done today sometime.

Jonathan - can you update the kernels both in binary/kernel and
binary/sets/kern.tgz with the fixed ones?  That'll teach me for using a
96MB machine for testing :-)


A note to all testers - to use DDB symbols on ELF machines, and to boot
ELF kernels, you'll need to install new bootblocks first.  Instructions
go something like this:

	# tar xvpfz /path/to/snapshot/installation/misc/bootblocks.tgz
	# disklabel -B rzX

where X is your boot disk SCSI ID.  These are the bootblocks that can
boot a.out, ECOFF and ELF kernels, and read symbols on a.out and ELF
kernels.
