Well, nobody seemed that interested in helping solve the problem as to why I
couldn't netboot the latest snapshot on an ultra1e, so I didn't spend a lot of
time on things.
I can netboot up to the point that init is called, and things hang. Oh well.
I've been able to netboot, more or less, using the codebase from late April.
I did a bunch of sbus development work, but this codebase (which is from the
cvsup10 special sparc64 repository) leaves me with a kernel that hangs as soon
as I call bus_setup_intr for an SBus card.
I may have missed the point at which one builds a kernel out of regular CVS
source instead of the special repository, so I tried to build a kernel out of
regular CVS using the April running system. Nope. That wouldn't even compile
(gcc turned a bunch of printf("STRING") into calls to puts, etc.). Even
hacking around that didn't help.
So- with the limited amount of time I have available, I'm going to check in
the work in progress as the code actually *does* seem to compile. Maybe
otheres will have better luck.
Frankly, I'm a bit peeved about the lack of support/interest in all of
this. I'm not going to waste *my* time trying to do basic sparc64 debugging-
sorry. Oh well- I'm sure those that can run systems are happy.
