I obviously don't have permission to write into /incoming on
weedcon2.cropsci.ncsu.edu but you can download it via http
from http://moghedien.mayn.de/mkb/netbsd-mkb-14M.gz.
Note that it doesn't support mfm disks, it will boot from sd0a.
Also it will only work on VAXStations (VS3100 only probably,
support for KA410 (KA41/42) and KA43 is compiled into).
Also note that I have increased the block buffer cache to 15% (vs.
the default 5% or so) since I have 24 megs in my box and a little
more buffers increases throughput significantly.
The configuration file used is at http://moghedien.mayn.de/mkb/MOGGY.

Yesterday I started a build for the Nov 7 tree to fit with my
kernel... I simply untarred the tarfiles in /usr (it all goes
into /usr/src) since I didn't have the tree installed already
(otherwise I would've sup'ed it) and did a "make build".
This morning I found that make exited on "cannot allocate memory"
but I have raised ulimits and hope it'll run through now.
