Hi Rafal, > I'll look at the OPIC changes definitely, BTW: as I need to update the > sources I'm working on - would 5.2-RELEASE cross-compile on x86? You're much better off with -current. That cross-compiles without any patches. >> Are there many ISA peripherals on this device ?

More the fact that a lot of devices still use inb/outb, and that complicates bus-space since there needs to be a static ISA mapping. And yes, DMA would be a problem. >>> de0: <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> port 0xfffff00-0xfffff7f mem ... >> Does this work OK ?

OK, I'll wait 'til then. > I may have additional questions regarding mounting root over network. Should be fine: just type "nfs" at the mountroot prompt and all should be well. The loader has already been using NFS to pull in the kernel. later, Peter.
