- It doesn't support microchannel. Basically, to support microchannel, go to the
- directory 'usr/src/sys.386bsd/i386'. Make a directory called 'mca'. Copy all
- the files from 'isa' to 'mca'. Modify the 'SI386' line in "Makefile". Rewrite
- all the files in the 'mca' subdirectory as appropriate for the Microchannel bus.
- Rebuild. You're done.
-
- This is rather complicated (the rewrite part), so nobody has really tackled it
- yet... although something could be in progress and I wouldn't know about it.
