Well, I'm not sure what the card is, but I believe NetBSD supports
SoundBlaster clones, Windows Sound System, and ProAudio spectrum (this
might be in -current). To compile your own kernel, you will need to have
sources (or symlinks). If you don't want to untar to local disk, do
the following:
select a directory to build in (say /build/kernel -- whatever..
replace with wherever you'd lke to build -- I think you'll need about 40 meg).
cd /build/kernel
/usr/athena/etc/synctree -s /afs/sipb/project/netbsd/src/sys -d ./ -a /afs/sipb/project/sipb/src/src/Mosaic/.rconf
that previous command makes symlinks, if you have an extra 30
megs, just copy the entire thing over (yes, the previous thing
is VERY gross).
cd /build/kernel/arch/i386/conf
look at some of the files, specifically, ATHENA-AHA, which is
the one I suggest you modify. you'll need most of the stuff in
there, but you'll need to add a device (sb I think -- look at
some of the other files) with the correct IRQ and such.
save the edited file as the name you want to give the kernel,
lets say you call it SDFRANKS
config SDFRANKS
cd ../compile/SDFRANKS
make depend
make
this will create a kernel named netbsd, which you should copy over
to / (name it something like /netbsd.new.. I suggest you do it this way:
cp ./netbsd /netbsd.new
cd /
ln netbsd netbsd.old
rm netbsd
ln netbsd.new netbsd
the kernel should be ready for running, so just sync, halt, and reboot
if you have problems running that kernel, you will want to boot off the
olc one in single user mode... when you get the bootloader prompt (the
silly netbsd thing that prints numbers and then boots the kernel), type
netbsd.old -s
then go in, throw away the new kernel, and replace the old.
Good luck :-)
