Cool, thanks for testing.

I don't think this is related to the kernel. Just put it in your fstab.

I assume the FAQ is pretty outdated. IIRC you should avoid Zorro II mem.
When I activate the 8MB I have on my GVP Series II SCSI card, the amiga
crawls, it takes about half an hour just to boot! So I have to live with the
128MB on the B2060 ;-)

BTW I have a couple of spare 8MB modules from the Quadra (FPM I assume), and
somewhere I should have 8MB EDO lying around, which worked nicely in the
Amiga. I am willing so swap against _any_ working video card for the amiga.
Or maybe somebody can repair my CV64-3D?
