- Yes, but i believe he wanted to update /vmunix, not RAM:vmunix :-)

- Unless you devellop/compile the kernel yourself, you must update /vmunix
- in order to have a running vmstat and such.
-
- What you can do is the (slightly dangerouse) filetodev-trick.
- Copy a vmunix.tar (tar !) with filetodev to the swap-partition under AmigaDOS.
-
- Then boot NetBSD into single-user mode.
- First thing you do by then is: tar xvf /dev/rsdxb
- Whereas x is your SCSI-device.
-
- That's the way i do it :-)
