Of course there is no rev 1.1 or 1.2 (and their log message > wasn't saved when those revs were diked out) to help explain _why_. I think it was commented out in the original merged netbsd/alpha freebsd/i386 machdep.c. It was probably commented out because alpha didn't have enough infastructure to allow it to compile & Doug wanted to just keep moving until he got something booting on SimOs & then it was forgotten. I don't blame him. Doug? > Crap like this is really irritating on the Alpha... Yes. But as more people use it, it happens less & less often.
