eddie.marshlabs.gaertner.de, my i386 EeePc 1000H
for primarily compiling and testing netbsd-current systems, got a
hardware upgrade:
Out with the 160GB harddisk drive (and nbsd 8.1 on it), and in
with a new shiny 120GB SSD (and back to the current
-current branch, tracking 9.99.x; I had skipped the
8.99.x track).
First impressions about 9.99.x:
i915drmkms is still broken for the EeePc,
i915drm instead still works.classic console beeps / terminal bells work again, they are now routed through the HDA system:

Nice!
As so often in the past, I just dedicated 20GB to this NetBSD system:
% fdisk wd0
Disk: /dev/rwd0
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:

The NetBSD is by no means cramped:

So there are still 90GB (real GB out of of 111 real GB as opposed to the 120 metric marketing GB) left for other systems.
