For one thing, the NetBSD : code requires the SRM console to be installed and everyone now agrees, : for a variety of reasons, that the ARC console is the one to target. : This will affect the boot code rather significantly. And the VM code, since the NetBSD/alpha code and the OpenBSD/alpha code both use PAL codes from the SRM console to do various interesting VM things, which would have to be redone as well. Just to give another example. : P.S. And if you don't understand the difference between the SRM and : ARC consoles, please don't ask - I don't want to explain it and you : don't want to know. :-) He's right. You *REALLY* don't want to know. :-) Warner
