Re: 43p: Install kernel boots, generic not

Thanks! That will give me two options how to get around that dreaded
firmware limit:

- get kloader working on prep
- get the SCSI controller working in the existing NetBSD bootloader of prep

I wanted to work on that when having my next vacation in July, anyone
has an idea what might be the more appropiate method? I'm happy
to accept advice, even if it's only gut feeling. I mean, there are more
prep machines than just the 43p, so my first route would be kloader,
because that way I wouldn't have to bother about the next controller
driver in the bootloader....

CU,
Uli
