OK, i've placed a set of kernels on the ftp server. you'll need to
use either the old 64 bit snapshot (last year), the new "all.tar.gz"
in the "other" directory, or a 32 bit sparc install. the new files
are in:
ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/arch/sparc64/pci
there is a README describing all the files.
these kernels should work on ultra5/ultra10 and AXi machines. would
every one who tests them please email me the boot messages.
shar and enjoy!
