[Freeipmi-users] FreeIPMI on NetBSD (partial patch)

[Ben C.]

Apologies for the cross posing here, the freeipmi-devel@ mailing list
seems pretty dead.  I probably should of posted In freeipmi-users@ to
begin with.

I finally got it to compile using this patch I made myself (kind of,
thanks mostly to the NetBSD developer 'joerg' who wrote the asm*
functions, I'm pretty sure he did.)

However, it still doesn't work:

# bmc-config --checkout
could not find inband device

I've tried various drivers and devices although they were either
incorrect or freeipmi is broken in a way I do not understand nor how
to fix.  There was some messages on the mailing lists about NetBSD
support a year or two ago, -- I'm surprised it doesn't work 'out of
the box' already.

Anyone know the solution this time?

Thanks, Ben
