It's up-to-date to within a few days or a week. Unpacked it
completely
(gzip'd it ran into the Penguin size lockup bug) and I get as far as
failing to mount root. I'm assuming this is the lack of filesystem
drivers. Seems like it'd work with an initrd.
Yes, that does sound promising. Thanks!
Figured I'd mention while I was at it that since I was reinstalling on
the new HD anyway, I used the base filesystem tarball from
https://wiki.debian.org/M68k/Installing
(http://zigo.mirbsd.org:8080/t/2015-Jan/Ara2015A.tar.gz) and started off
with my original 3.12 kernel, which booted it no problem. I ran some
updates and it generated a 3.16.0-4 kernel and initrd through some
process. Copied those to the Mac side and it's now working just fine
with a newer kernel. It's taken a bit of tweaking to remove some of the
ARAnyM-specific stuff but so far so good. It'll be nice having a
spacious 18GB to work with instead of the 2GB I'd had it all crammed in
before. I guess it shouldn't be too surprising since that's what it's
there for, but I'm always glad when neat old things work out of the box
:)
Now to try to fix X...
