So, while I'm waiting for my K8V to be RMA'ed, I'm thinking about how to go about integrating this amd64 box into my network and getting it running. I gather there's no really working cvsup, and David's snapshot build from way back is (a) from wayback (b) unstable under load. I've got several running systems, both -STABLE and -CURRENT, with cvsupped /usr/src's. The /usr/src's are NFS exported, and I've got a spare cheap-ass NIC (yes, an RTL 8029). Supposing I boot a 4-STABLE drive with rl(4) in place in an amd64 box - what do I need to do to get it up to speed (heck, let's make it a 5-CURRENT drive, since we've got the 4-to-5 upgrade otherwise as well). - do I need to cvsup anything special? extra branches? are all the sources for all the architectures normally in a /usr/src/sys? - does X "just build" then? Getting all this (and the machine) together ought to take me a while, and I promise to be quite while that happens :) [ade]
