i've got a new test kernel at theos.com:/pub/netbsd2.gz this should
work on all sun4c and sun4/[123]00 machines. this incorporates all
my changes.
i think i've fixed the bootpath code so that it will correctly figure
out target->unit translations for scsi (and other devices; it might
even handle floppy booting -- if someone could test this i'd
appreciate it). chuck's preliminary xd code in there too, but i don't
know how well that works (certainly, the xd code lacks proper bootpath
support).
i've not checked the bootpath code very much on 4/x00 machines -- i've
got a diskless machine.
(i had to make a small but disgusting change to the MI scsi code,
because there isn't a way to find out which target/unit a particular
device is on, well, at least not when dk_establish() is called. i'm
searching for a better change to the scsi code, but nothing looks
better at the moment.)
by the way, i very recently tested an sbus le card, and it appears to
work.
on vme machines, if you have si/se vme scsi cards, please unplug them.
i've got new drivers for those, but they are _way_ short of operating.
let me know how you fare.
