Update to 0.4.2.
Changes between release 0.4.1 and 0.4.2 include, among other things:
o) The NetWinder emulation mode now works well enough to let
NetBSD/netwinder run from a disk image.
(NetBSD/netwinder has to be installed manually, though, because
there is no installation ramdisk kernel. The GXemul documentation
has an example of how to install NetBSD/netwinder using an emulated
NetBSD/pmax machine.)
o) Algorithmics P5064 emulation works well enough to let NetBSD/algor
run from a disk image. (Similar to NetBSD/netwinder, it has to
be installed manually, using another emulated machine.)
o) PCI configuration register writes can now be handled, which allows
NetBSD/Malta (evbmips) 3.0.1 and NetBSD/cobalt 3.0.1 to run from
PCI IDE harddisk images. (Previously, only NetBSD 2.1 worked for
the Malta and Cobalt emulation modes.)
o) Some performance increases:
The virtual translation table update routine has been simplified
to work the same way for 32-bit and 64-bit emulation, and this
apparently results in a speedup for all 64-bit modes.
For 32-bit MIPS, some more instruction combinations have been added.
