Actually, there are a number of things in NetBSD/vax to work on. It's just
that Ragge seem to be pretty absent right now, and others don't say much.
But I don't mind having a little talk about things that should be done.
For starters, it would be nice if build.sh could run the whole way through
a build. A new gcc would be very welcome as well, as would a working boot
for netbooting.
And then my personal wish-list includes getting the environment sensors of
the 8600 working. I believe there is some environment daemon in the i386
that it would be nice to hook into here.
And of course we have the never ending CI-story... :-)
