I do the patching as I found described on the web:

It works but I get a lot of error messages along the way.
Files the patch can't find and such.

I'm not a programmer but a user who likes to experiment and try things so I have to rely on what I find in manuals and howto's in the web. It's a hobby and I learn on the way.

I found no sarge nubus-kernel at debian.org so there's not much to try.
Any idea where to find it? I'd be glad to try and test a sarge nubus-kernel.
