This has come up for discussion before, but never really on the lists, I think.
lola-granola needs a machtype and an @sys value. Before, I mentioned to some
people that `i386_netbsd1' didn't fit well with reality or my typing laziness;
we've never run netbsd on a 386, to my knowledge. Instead, I suggested x86 or
intel or just i (else will we have a ipentium_netbsd1.1.2 someday?)
On a slightly related but seperate note, granola needs a machtype value.
I dislike the current value `i386_netbsd' because it's long and ugly and
people will type it (more than they type @sys). I suggest inbsd, mainly
because it's short and it's pronouncable. :-)
Comments?
