Actually, I'd add the src/release/${MACHINE} dir, but only move
a conf file if you need to. For instance, if you rip the unused
/usr/src/sbin/${MACHINE_ARCH} dir from boot_crunch.conf, it will
work on the alpha again and will be the same for all platforms.
Only the fixit floppy actually differs at the moment.
You can implement this by checking for src/release/${MACHINE}/${conf_file}
first and fallback to src/release/${conf_file} if you don't find
the first one.

Which, btw, would be a nifty thing to have if you've got an alpha capable of bootstrapping over the network. I've just installed NetBSD/sparc on a couple of sparcs using NetBSD's boot.net images and an NFS mounted root directory as the install media.

Seconded. But Maybe at some point in time we should decide CD[R] is the load
medium of choice for Alpha. Or?

I really like that idea. Alpha binaries are larger than Intel ones, thus
when someone tweaks the floppies, often the Alpha ones become too big.

The position of {boot,fixit}_crunch.conf
Hi,
I'd like to move {boot,fixit}_crunch.conf from src/release to
src/release/$MACHINE because it needs to use different configuration
file between PC/AT and PC-98 to decrease the size of PC-98 fixit.flp
to 1.2MB.
In addition, alpha machines don't require the fdisk command, so I
think that it should be removed the fdisk command from
fixit_crunch.conf for alpha.
Comment?
