I tried booting netbsd-AMIGA-8.1 kernel and mounting the NetBSD 9.0
root file system.

* Confirmed that dmesg reports NetBSD 8.1.
* Confirmed that 3C589 is reported by dmesg similar to the 9.0 patch.
* Confirmed that 3C589 can be configured with ifconfig.
* Confirmed that the Amiga NetBSD system can ping another host on the
   local network.
* Confirmed that the the other host can ping the Amiga NetBSD system.

   $ dmesg
   pccard0 at mainbus0
   pcmcia0 at pccard0
   ep0 at pcmcia0 function 0: <3Com Corporation, 3C589D, TP/BNC LAN Card 
Ver. 2a, 000002>
   ep0: address 00:60:08:22:32:e4, 8KB byte-wide FIFO, 5:3 Rx:Tx split
   ep0: 10baseT, 10base5, 10base2 (default 10baseT)

   $ ifconfig ep0 192.168.1.4
   $ ping 192.168.1.1
   [...]


With netbsd-AMIGA-7.1.x it was not possible to mount the NetBSD 9.0 root
file system. However,

* Confirmed that the kernel reports
     NetBSD 7.1.2_PATH (AMIGA) #0: Sat Mar  7 09:50:03 CET 2020
* Confirmed that 3C589 is reported by kernel similar to the 9.0 (and
   8.1) patch.

Thanks,

Martin
