Folks,
Maybe this is a question better aimed at -questions, but I
figured I would ask here first, to see if there were any
platform-specific issues to be concerned about.
Anyway, I recently installed NetBSD 1.5.2 on a Twinhead
Twinstation 5G (Sun SPARCstation 5 clone), but I'm now trying to
upgrade to -current, because I want support for the QuadFastEthernet
SBus card that I have also installed. Unfortunately, what
documentation I have found online doesn't seem to really address this
issue very well.
I have managed to do a CVS checkout of all the current source
code (all ~710MB worth), but it is not clear to me what the next step
should be, and what kinds of things I should be looking out for.
Thanks for any advice or help you can provide!
