I recompiled and installed the kernel and it now boots to
the point of hanging after the "Updating motd." message.
It doesn't seem to be looking at etc/ttys yet, but at least
it is now producing a var/run/dmesg.boot !
I tried booting without the files from under
/usr/src/etc/etc.sparc64 and the ttys file I already had
as it was, with that ttys file containing an ofwcons line
(a'la Drew), the files from etc.sparc64 without ofwcons
in ttys, and once more with ofwcons in the new ttys file.
I got the same result in each case.
Drew, I also see the disk attached as BIOSPIO -- is this
what you posted about in the current list (maybe)?
Sean

This was my fault: I messed up a commit in trap_subr.S, which prevented
signal
delivery in certain situations. This should now be fixed, so an update and
buildkernel/installkernel will pick it up.
The other thing I forgot to mention in the install step is that some
additional
files need to be copied to /etc. This is another case of files not being
in the
tree, but fortunately they're the same as used in sparc64
cp <srcroot>/etc/etc.sparc64/* <destdir>/etc/
mv <destdir>/etc/rc.sparc64 <destdir>/etc/rc.powerpc
This will give you a ttys file which is needed to be able to log in on
the console.
later,
Peter.
