Greetings;
1) The new dist scheme makes it very difficult to install on a NetBSD
newfs'ed /usr. It is not possible from SunOS ( well not with out
a long session with fsck afterwards), because there is no clean
separation between the root filesystem files and the /usr ones.
2) The "statically" linked gtar in the install directory is dynamic instead.
3) The install.sh has a typo: no space around "]" in test args.
4) The kernel netbsd.first_scsi hangs after proclaiming that it is going
to use "/sbin/init"
However, this may be the result of mistakes I made in trying to get around
(1) above.
I am starting over this weekend; hoping that I just overlooked something.
Regards,
