Hey folks, after running in some uses of unitialized OF handles in the sparc64 MD code I added a few KASSERT that should catch those. I'll test kernels on various hardware, but I have only a limited set of machines. Typical failure mode: during autoconfig (so before mounting root) the kernel will fail with one of the new KASSERT. This means it is safe to just copy a new test kernel to, say, /netbsd.test and then reoot with that kernel: shutdown -b netbsd.test -r now If it fails (panic), please report the output of the ddb "bt" command. This test method should not put your existing install at risc. Thanks, Martin
