mw adfe768529 sys/arch/amiga tree. This is the machdep part required to get the kernel
up on an A3000. There are still (very) few changes required outside the
arch/amiga tree, so you can't recompile the kernel yet. Support for
third party SCSI controllers for the A2000 is on its way. The kernel is
fully functional (except for a missing ethernet-driver ...). This
tree is based on my version #390.

Current list as of 93-7-5:
Those I'm aware of:
- nfsd and mountd crash regularly when going to multiuser mode...
- the console seems to have some problems displaying text when parity is
enabled. This shows in a distorted login-prompt (multiuser mode).
- the vt200 emulator is really far from perfect, and needs a lot more work
to be honestly called a vt200 (or vt320 even) emulator.
- the console chops the rightmost character, I guess this is a problem of
the display-window, not of the bitmap drawing itself.
- 8bit characters are all displayed as ^@. Problems could lie in wrong tty
settings or the ite driver.
- although autoconfig information is passed into the kernel and the hardware
table is generated, no I/O-space is currently allocated in kernel VM for
boards. This will probably be one of the first things to fix or nobody is
able to access their boards under BSD ...
- sun-style disklabels are not yet supported.
- disklabels can't be written back to disk. You'll have to configure your
drives under amigados (with hdtoolbox), and just format the partitions
under BSD. I think this is a tolerable limitation.
- there's currently no provision for reading the realtime-clock, so time
is always set using the last modification date of the mounted root
filesystem.
- severe crash after dumping to disk...
to be continued...
