O.K. I don't want to be argumentative here, or do I ;) But seriously, I
just performed surgery on a P2B-AE motherboard. What I have done is simply
provided support for the bus speeds that the boards timer is capable of
providing, but that ASUS removed for SONY. This is a mobo that ASUS used
for in-house R&D and later sold to SONY who sent it out as a VAIO. As it
(the board) was the proto for the ASUS P3B-1394, I am using that BIOS
image as opposed to the one that SONY provided. Of course this required
some soldering and other witchcraft.
ANYWAY, to the point; After all this voodoo I followed the instructions
as described *verbatum* and it runs like a top. Built as expected, ran
as expected. Now this one which required *no* voodoo won't build at all!
SO,
(not to discount the value of your shared wisdom, and years of experience)
what I intend to do, is: cd /, rm -fr . Then with 5.4-RC3 in the CDROM,
reboot, newfs, install, reboot and see what happens after a cvsup -g -L 2
<src-all>, make buildworld, make buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTKERN, make
installkernel KERNCONF=CUSTKERN, reboot, boot -s, /etc/rc.d/preseedrandom,
mergmaster -p, make installworld, mergemaster, reboot, boot kernel.
Why you may ask? Because I performed a rm -fr /usr/src, downloaded/unpacked
5.4-RC3 src. cvsup -g -L2 <src-all>, make buildworld. And it froze again
before finishing. After rebooting to single user mode and performing: fsck
-f and rebooting, then running make buildworld, it PANICED, then REBOOTED,
and I SAID !!!ENOUGH!!!
I hope I have been concise enough that there is no doubt or confusion on
any of this. :)
-Chris
P.S. Thanks for taking the time to follow and assist on this.

If only Western Electric had found a way to offer
binary licenses for the UNIX system back in 1974,
the UNIX system would be running on all PC's today
rather than DOS/Windows.
