Hello,
I was perusing the SIPB NetBSD-Athena pages, and noticed that the following
URL:
http://web.mit.edu/netbsd/www/install-NetBSD.html
has an incorrect/broken link to the ResNet homepage. The current link is:
http://web.mit.edu/afs/net/admin/residential/home.html
while it should now be:
http://web.mit.edu/rescomp/www
We are now encouraging everyone to use that URL so we don't end up pointing
clients to wrong or outdated information, so it would be greatly
appreciated if the link could be changed.
Thanks,
Edwin

PS: I am in the midst of considering a port of NetBSD to a StrongARM-SA1100
based platform we are designing inside Digital (aka Compaq). This isn't the
DNARD; it's a derivative of the Itsy
(http://www.research.digital.com/wrl/itsy/index.html). It currently runs
Linux, but the advent of USB support in the NetBSD-current kernel (and my
own personal opinions on how robust Linux currently is on this platform)
has made me interested in considering a port of NetBSD using the existing
arm32 sources.
I realize this is the not the right place to ask about it, but I figure
people on this list should know where to point me. In particular, I'd like
to know if NetBSD's kernel can execute out of ROM in its current state (can
I simply relocate the dynamic data to another memory segment via a linker
flag?), and whether the DNARD support has been already folded into the tree
as of today or not. Thanks in advance.
