Hi,

I've got two questions:
	Has anyone succeeded in installing codrv (1.2 i think, it works fine with NetBSD 0.8) on NetBSD-0.9 [ NetBSD-current in fact but claims to be 0.9].
I was trying to do this because 0.9 is super but without vtys it sucks, 
I was able to compile a kernel, and after booting the screen blanks, the 
cursor changes to fat, then hangs. It gets to coattach ( i wrote chars directly 
to the videomem to debug, so i see it gets there ) but kernel printfs don't 
work. Could this be due to the new ringbuffer-clist stuff or is there something
very fundamental change, or am i just do something wrong?

The other question:
	Some time ago a read an article in which somone was asking for the
amiga version of NetBSD, and mentioned that he heared about a VAX port.
Is this thing really exists or being worked on? This would be very nice
because we've got here a small Jurassic Park of 750's and NFS would be handy.
Please email to pink@fix.fsz.bme.hu , i won't be reading news for a couple of 
weeks (going fishing :-) ).

Thanks!
