1) on Sparc64 platforms the install the docs (INSTALL.sparc64) reference that to use SMP support you should change your boot file in the EEPROM. The install program with 5.4 seems to detect the # of CPUs and renames 'bsd.mp' to 'bsd' and the stock GENERIC kernel to bsd.sp. It automagically boots into the SMP kernel. The doc should be updated to reflect this change.
2) I wanted to get my old MicroVAX 2 working. I know it's not officially listed in the support docs but it has worked in the past. It boots the ramdisk kernel just fine after getting to boot over mop, BUT the /dev in the ramdisk does not have ra disk drivers populated. It was able to find the local disk (/dev/ra0) after I ran 'sh MAKEDEV ra' in /dev; the GENERIC kernel does have support, just /dev isn't populated. It found my disk label and everything. -- -Jon Jonathan Katz, Indianapolis, IN.
