@syllopsium@craig1black The problem is not so much SSE2 as a baseline (you can easily compile programs without SSE2, which we do for the i386 port), but things wanting 8 byte atomics, which only work on i586 and newer. 486-class is still perfectly usable for little embedded boxes though.

3 new security advisories for core dumps, mail.local, and procfs. These are optional components, so it's possible to work around, but you can also update the kernel and mail.local to the latest snapshot from the 9-stable branch. https://t.co/po8vt1hhK1
@ReimuNotMoe This does not happen often because there is a lot of older code in the NetBSD kernel that makes it legally impossible to mix with GPL code. It only happens when the drivers are dual-licensed (e.g. the graphics stack)
This is my first entry in a series about the machines building #NetBSD pkgsrc packages.
There are lots of ARM variants because ARM has evolved to fit all sorts of applications: NAT routers, personal computers, embedded controllers, servers, et cetera.
256-color X server for "planer" framebuffer by jandberg@
https://t.co/orKgCbVFWN
works fine on my #Amiga A1200! I wonder if we can support color X server also for #NetBSD / #luna68k and #OpenBSD / #luna88k ?
@mostly_bsd maybe look at Anita, it's a python script for creating NetBSD test VMs for many archs, including gxemul/mips. it's used for official test runs.
it's possible this kernel doesn't automatically detect the root fs so it needs manual input, or recompiling with it in the config
