OK. The 3chip 4M parts appear to work well enough to surive a build of the system. I'm running with a mix of 80ns, 70ns and 60ns parts (all matched to a bank). 128M makes a big difference when rebuilding. 15 hours vs 60 for build.sh -u -R for similar amount of changes. Too bad gzip takes forever (it has been running for the past 4 hours on each of the distribution sets)... BTW, I was able to boot off a 36G drive, but I made sure that / was < 2G in size. Firmware was happy with it even though it is 180 times the size of the 200M disk I removed from the system. I'm in the last stages of building a snapshot right now. I'll try to install it onto my box and see how well things go. If it looks good, is there any interest in getting a newer snapshot together? Doesn't matter to me one way or the other, but since they seem to take so long to build I thought I'd offer. Now, I'm off to build hpcmips and arc systems... Warner
