Heh, I was wondering on this topic as well, though I assumed everything
there was O2-centric and ripped most of it out to a separate function
only called on IP32-class machines.
Having gotten a kernel to boot and spin doing nothing, I'm off to read
docs and figure out all the things I need to configure to get hardware
interrupts configured/delivered.
I am curious whether I could shove an ISA NIC into the EISA slot in my
I2 and use that as a way to get maybe root-on-NFS going easier (similar
to the use-a-PCI-NIC way you've bootstrapped the O2's). I have a load
of ISA NICs, but if I need a real EISA nic, then I'd actually have to
go find/buy/trade for one.

Mmm. Time to get access to a modern Irix, methinks. My I2 only has
5.3 and I doubt that has any O2 specific stuff.
