snapshot CD

- 1.4.2へバックポートしたくないですよね多分？
- port-hpcmipsはやっぱ忘れられてたんですね。


hi-

    a friend of mine has a Casio E-100 and wants to try and get hpcmips
running on it.   the web page only claims support for E-55/E500.  he
tried the snapshot and the E-100 ran the pbsdboot.exe, but it wasn't
clear what to set the framebuffer type to (E-100 has color screen) or,
alternately, how to get a serial console.  loading a kernel with 
framebuffer set to E-55 didn't do anthing interesting (other than 
hard-hang the system).   what are the odds of getting hpcmips to work 
on something like the E-100/E-105?
(see http://www.casio.com/hpc/detail.cfm?PID=1425 for on-line info...)

thanks,
chuck c.

  Linux is running on the E-105, so it should be possible to get it to do
something interesting :).  From http://www.ltc.com/linux-mips/e-105.html:
Size		240x320 visible 256x320 virtual
Address		0xa200000
Bytes/line	512

  The type is probably D2_M2L_something (maybe try 3 first).

Cool. Thanks for organizing this, and to anyone who helped
with the hpc mips stuff.

The hpc port, btw, would be worth an announcement, once we get a Web
page up.  It's really cute, might be interesting to Comdex-goers, but
we dont have an installer and I'm skeptical about back-porting
everything to 1.4.2. (the sys/arch/mips changes are fine, I dont know
what changed between 1.4D-ish which the hpc code might depend on).

Charles, what do you think?

	Maybe we could look towards putting a -current snapshot 'taster'
	on the CD if the hpcmips people think it is good enough?

	(We could shift this to port-hpcmips - we _do_ have a
	port-hpcmips? :)

Sounds cool to me, if the hpcmips people are ready to put together a
sampler.

I dont know. If we do,  I missed it.

hpcmips testing group has no E-100 machine may be.
E-100 has near architecture with E-500(which is E-100 for Japan).
Please testing E-500 setting.or Mr.Matthew's paramater.
I'll add serial console setting to hpcmips WWW pages.

NetBSD/hpcmips kernel can't find PCIC device on Cassiopeia E-series.
I heard Linux for cassiopeia has same problem.is it true?
