Dear all; |

I did attempt to get NetBSD running with Gentoo on a spare Alpha I had |
| 4 |
lying around a couple of years ago. I have since then moved to where |
| 5 |
there's 120V in the wall sockets, and the cheap PSU I used to house the |
| 6 |
board cannot deal with it. I still haven't found the time to buy a new |
| 7 |
power supply, and hence the alpha is currently serving as a door stop. |

I seem to recall the NetBSD people introduced new functionality into |
| 21 |
OpenPAM without which NetBSD won't work. I've haven't been following |
| 22 |
NetBSD or OpenPAM very closely since I gave up on my alpha, so I'm not |
| 23 |
sure how much help my old patch would be. But you can make your own! |
| 24 |
Just make a diff between the sources of sys-auth/openpam and |
| 25 |
corresponding sources in the NetBSD tree. |

I vaguely recall having problems here as well. As Alexis points out, I |
| 39 |
think it turned out to be related to OpenSSL. It may be worth checking |
| 40 |
_very_ carefully that your openssl build went fine. As I remember it, |
| 41 |
it all seemed to compile OK, but due to something being misdetected or |
| 42 |
something in one of those early perl scripts a lot of it was actually |
| 43 |
garbage. |

If you really want, I'll try to get the alpha running again. Maybe you |
| 46 |
could help me get it to boot to multiuser? I never did figure out how |
| 47 |
to get the rc system and baselayout and whatnot to agree with NetBSD (I |
| 48 |
particularly remember that there was no fuser on NetBSD and porting it |
| 49 |
from FreeBSD was not trivial). |
