The latest rebuild was done with sources from May 16 2012. For the packages which are not architecture-specific (should be the vast majority), these packages should also be usable on other powerpc ports. As warned a long while ago, the axe has now fallen on the oldest 5.0 packages (based on 2009Q4). It's also likely that the oldest packages for 5.1 will be removed (based on 2011Q2).

Kind of. Just setting output-device to /valkyrie gives me a funny looking but working console, but for some reason any attempt on loading ofwboot fails with 'CLAIM failed'. With output-device set to /bandit/ 3Dfx,Voodoo3 it boots just fine. The bits &amp; pieces needed to run the system console on valkyriefb should be in place, if I just could get it to load anything ( genfb can't work since OF still doesn't give us a framebuffer address and it would need glue code to attach to mainbus ). So, any ides what could cause this and how to get around it? Sure, valkyrie is unaccelerated but as a simple console it's doing alright and people might want to use the PCI slot for something else, like fast ethernet or a USB2 card. have fun Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQEVAwUBT71+RspnzkX8Yg2nAQIs5Af+I2glatRi0vwNyOLxfLQcmuMUfMHBgd04 C8pWDsu3W9Kssy0ggUED5UMS4XlnUqyV4rYOrG4AJe33v68cdGEIleevU4v/NcS0 /k4zVx0RQcpk4wI6hVK0H5BLnKbDX/iDhVIBxLX3a8zWs89xCxHtF4skthF9zjMu UyfJenNk1devOAiQz/3MqoIyu5qMCO2/lD91xHx8jxFHjEyNkw5AefAphrsJXJ4S ldtwW0EMrDJMMaTmYVaG3FfJ/s3QEUT/13vOZ9PAuGnb8HqY1MRc43hq6xWtdsFJ y3CNS1HDK4dKyhe1qvCSrW2FFFW1NW4Rwd043+MUl4TG9jnVvsl+AQ== =OonG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- </pre> Michael 2012-05-24T00:18:14 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.macppc/11133 <pre>You have exceeded your email limit quota of 450MB.

Is it posible to load the bootloader and kernel from network, and then mount a local partition (/dev/wd0a) as root filesystem? If it is possible, I will need the server to boot. But once it boots, I won't be depending on the server while the laptop is turned on.

My problem is that I can't boot the installation kernel and I would love it if some brave soul could make Bootx boot netbsd. Mainly since it is so easy to use compared to ofwboot.xcf, also it makes it possible to dual boot easily. </pre> Pär Moberg 2012-03-11T16:00:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.macppc/11121 <pre>Hi, just an information for all those who are trying to run Xorg on a ATI Rage board with NetBSD-5 (Driver "r128"): To make it work you have to insert the option Option "UseFBDev" "False" in the Device section of your xorg.conf. Otherwise the Xorg server will complain about a missing "fbdevhw" module. This seems to be fixed for NetBSD-6, but unfortunately it wasn't pulled up for 5. </pre> Frank Wille 2012-02-28T19:00:35 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.macppc/11116 <pre>Hi, I would like to update a 3.1_PATCH system to the latest 5.1.2 release. It is a PowerMac G4 (AGP Graphics), 400MHz, 1.2 GB RAM. For a test I booted with a 5.1.2 GENERIC kernel and configured the gem(4) interface. It didn't work. I cannot ping any host on my LAN. ifconfig(8) reports strange capabilities for gem(4). Something like: capabilities=800 ...without naming the capabilities. In the 3.1 kernel there were some more capabilities, with their names in brackets. What happened? Is it a known problem? </pre> Frank Wille 2012-02-29T10:09:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.macppc/11115 <pre>Cher utilisateur de courrier électronique; Vous avez dépassé la limite de 23432 de stockage sur votre boîte aux lettres S'il vous plaît Cliquez sur le lien ci-dessous ou copier coller dans votre navigateur et de remplir les informations pour valider votre compte. http://maths4cambridge.com/form/use/feedback/form1.html Attention!

Martin </pre> Martin Husemann 2012-02-26T22:56:46 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.macppc/11112 <pre>Hi All, Trying to boot the current NetBSD 6 Beta builds on a G4 iMac. I can install just fine, but after the install I can't work out how to load the ffs.kmod kernel extension. In NetBSD 5 I could boot with an Open Firmware command like: boot hd:9,ofwboot.xcf The bootloader would find the netbsd.gz kernel file and boot into NetBSD. But now that the FFS support is only in a module the boot hangs where it should be mounting the root filesystem. I can't find any documentation about how to tell ofwboot.xcf to load ffs.kmod (which I presume is what needs to happen). The only documentation I can find is for i386, where the bootloader reads a boot.cfg file which tells it which modules it needs to read into memory for the kernel, before passing control to the kernel. The other thing they are building for i386 is a purely monolithic kernel to use when the modules aren't setup properly - but there isn't one of these in the macppc builds. Any ideas? Thanks, Will </pre> William Ross 2012-02-21T22:02:22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.macppc/11102 <pre>Hello, I am Pablo Cabrera from Paysandú, Uruguay. I am new in the mailing list, and new in NetBSD. My laptop is a PowerBook G3 PDQ. It's an Old-World Mac, OpenFirmware version 2.0.1 I can boot from network, and install NetBSD in the laptop's hard drive but I can't boot from it. I can't load ofwboot.xcf from the hard disk, I am now trying to load it from an hfs partition. Apparently OpenFirmware doesn't recognize hard drive. I assume that hard drive is /pci/mac-io/ata0/disk. Any attempt to boot from that device results in the message 'can't OPEN:'.. I've also tried with other devices.. Note: the devalias ide0 and ide1 doesn't exists. I tried in a lot of ways, but I don't find a solution. I can't even list the files in the partition with the 'dir' command. Please, help me. </pre> Pablo Cabrera 2012-02-14T15:35:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.macppc/11101 <pre>Hello, the attached patch allows -current to boot on my iBook G4, to some degree at least. There is still a problem with bus_dmamap_load() but that appears to be malloc() vs. kmem fallout - apparently vtophys() returns garbage whan called on kmem memory. Either way, the problem was, that the BAT setup code called OpenFirmware after zapping the BATs but before filling them in with something useful ( the old code mapped the lower 256MB first ), the other problem was that we tried to map the upper 256MB which includes the ROM, which fails now so we only map 0xf0000000 - 0xfbffffff. So, this needs to be tested on ofppc and other macppc boxes. If you get any (green) kernel putput at all ( as opposed to some obscure OF error and no kernel output ) then it worked. have fun Michael </pre> Michael 2012-02-14T03:20:31 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.macppc/11094 <pre>The Helpdesk is currently upgrading and maintaining database Server from the old Microsoft Server(No420134x) to the new Microsoft Server(No520193x) click the link below and fill all information required. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGJJWHoxN21SRk0xYXAzQ0MwX0UyZUE6MQ Thank You Helpdesk Upgrade Team </pre> Academy 2012-02-06T21:09:39 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.macppc/11093 <pre>Hi all I got NetBSD installed on an old PowerMac B&amp;W G3.

I am looking to upgrade (the data center had a power failure and it really messed up my systems). I recently switched over to a 2.4 Ghz dual-core system, but I am not really happy with it. I have been thinking about getting either a mac mini or an Xserve. Just wondering if anyone is currently running off one these systems and what your thoughts are? I am still running NetBSD 4 on the b&amp;w, but it is crashing all the time now. Also, if anyone would happen to have some PPC hardware they are looking to sell, I would probably be interested.

Is anyone working on fixing this? John Klos </pre> John Klos 2012-01-23T01:30:33 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.macppc/11082 <pre>All, a few days ago, I had the need to access a sparc disk from a Macintosh G3. Same endianness, so no problem, I thought. The macppc kernel only gave me a generic, empty disklabel where I expected my partitions. 'disklabel -r' gave me the expected list, but unlike mbrlabel(8), disklabel(8) has no way of feeding a label to the kernel. Looking at macppc/macppc/disksubr.c, I found that the support for reading native disklabels I added to the mac68k port twelve years ago had never made it across. Prying a disklabel out of an mbr partition, yes (what for? It'll be LE, most likely), but no native BSD label. In the wake of netbsd-6, I didn't want to be too intrusive (although disksubr.c could use some tough love), just plopped in an adapted version of the mac68k routine, and was able to access the sparc disk. Comments?
