This is just compiled from the CVS tree. 1st Version compiled on a VAXstati=
on
4000/90, and since it runs, i compile my kernels on the 4000/105A. How to
get the CVS files... just look at the NetBSD site, there are the docs. I us=

cvsup and have a daily -current CVS state here.
As a warning: the state of Monday seems to have a bug in the memory managme=
nt,
i tried a new kernel :)

Ehm... shame on me, i didn't get the booter supporting the 105A yet. But yo=
u
can boot the following way:

BOOT /103 EZA0

enter the filename of your MOP booter (maybe /3 boots a usual, with no file=
name
required), tell the booter just a "boot", and enter sd0a as root device,
followed by two returns for the default values, and here you go :)

My state i have in mind is the booter missing the support for the 105A scsi
controller. I didn't port this yet, due to a lack of time to find out where
to put it in.
