could someone who's working on SHAC let me know what the status of this is?
if it isn't in GENERIC could i bother someone to build a test kernel for me?
i've got a 4000/300 with a 1GB DSSI disk in it and it's dying to get NetBSD.

i still haven't beaten my sparc box into line yet (the machine i'm gonna mop
boot from) so i'm in no rush.  plus i need to re-arrange the computer room.
made big steps tonight, but got lots more to do.

i hate cramped spaces.
