I added to the Makefile (in compile/... - ugly but config is not there yet), -D__FreeBSD__=3. This carries the day a bit further. Also, dod I mention that /usr/share/mk/bsd/kern.mk is missing from NetBSD and the kernel's makefile sort of insists on it? > Under NetBSD this file lives in dev/ic, but under FreeBSD it's > under dev/isp.

It gets uglier than that. In pci/if_de.c there is a cure set of: #ifdef __some_os__ #define YUCK "foo/bar.h" ... #endif ... #include YUCK This does not impress the NetBSD compiler one bit. It wuite downright offends the bugger. I ugnly-hacked it to be a bit more explicit. I would have not started this, were I not been told to compile the FreeBSD kernel under NetBSD :-) As such, it may yet compile tonight. Ifyou want access to that Alpha box, send me your vipw passwd line so I add you as a user to the machine, while I still have it. > > On Fri, 28 Aug 1998, Simon Shapiro wrote: > > > > > Doug Rabson, On 27-Aug-98 you wrote: > > > On Thu, 27 Aug 1998, Simon Shapiro wrote: > > > > > > > Hi Y'all, > > > > > > > > How do I get FreeBSD to run on an Alpha Personal Workstation 433au? > > > > > > > > I have a NetBSD snapshot installed and it seems to work well. > > > > > > The first thing to do is to build a FreeBSD kernel and test boot it. > > > There are patches to current sources for this available at: > > > > > > http://www.freeebsd.org/~dfr/alpha-sys-diff-270898.gz > > > > > > You can build the kernel on NetBSD and just drop it in the NetBSD > > > root > > > directory and boot to single user mode to test it.
