NetBSD/be

[sakamoto%cec.co.jp@localhost (Kazuki Sakamoto)]

Now, I am porting NetBSD/powerpc(1.2E) to BeBox.
NetBSD's kernel works before mount root filesystem.

Because BeBox doesn't have OpenFirmware,
OpenFirmware driver is removed from NetBSD/powerpc,
and Device Drivers of NetBSD/i386 is put, and added,
and NetBSD/be is being made.

Floppy drive controller and Ethernet(NE2000) and
console(VGA,keyboard) be usable somehow under the present condition.
# a latent problem seems that problem is about endian.


So, I want NetBSD/powerpc binary (/sbin/init,/bin/sh,...).

Though I tried to use
<URL:ftp:/ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/powerpc/floppies/fl9660.gz>,
a result wasn't good. (a reason hasn't been examined yet.)

Therefore, I want to know how to make it those.

NetBSD Kernel Compile environment:
  FreeBSD-2.2.1(i386)
    gcc-2.7.2.1, binutils-2.7
    + <URL:ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/powerpc/tools/> patches

Teach me how to make it.
