Rebirth of NetBSD's ofppc port
Tim Rightnour has worked a lot on NetBSD's PowerPC ports recently,
providing infrastructure works for common pieces of hardware found
on several platforms. While there, the NetBSD port to machines
with an OpenFirmware interface to the hardware
was revived, to
allow running NetBSD on machines like the Genesi Pegasos II.
See
Tim's posting
for some more details and a dmesg output of his machine.
NetBSD's new PowerPC-developer Frank Wille also has the port running,
and he
reports
that he has the Pegasos system running in multiuser mode with
no stability problems.
