Please also double check that CONFIG_NIU is in there for the netboot
images as well.

Thanks a lot.

[BootLoader]

[Ghitulete Razvan_Alin]

Hello,
 I am working on a Sparc port of the minix kernel, and I thought it 
would be easier for starters to use SILO as a bootloader. But I'm having some 
trouble as I can't figure out how to link the kernel "draft" so that I can load 
it from SILO, as i keep getting Fast Data Access MMU Miss. So my question is, 
does anyone know whether I have to manually relocate the assembly code to a 
certain physical address, ar any tips whatsoever on how to link/compile the 
assembly files so that SILO won't load them in an unmapped memory zone anymore

Syncerely,
Razvan

These drivers (igb/igbvf) are already enabled in the 3.0.0-1 kernel 
package, recently uploaded to unstable. I'll make necessary installer 
changes next week, once I'm back from vacation.
