System: NetBSD night-owl.duskware.de 7.99.7 NetBSD 7.99.7 (NIGHT-OWL) #315: Fri Mar 20 08:14:21 CET 2015 martin@night-owl.duskware.de:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/NIGHT-OWL amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:

For some reasons (I still have to explore) my notebook bios is unhappy when
trying to boot a amd64 iso image dd'd to a usb stick.

For testing I copied over the kernel from the cd9660 root partition of the
image to the hard disk and booted that with -a.

At the root device prompt I answered sd0a and expected it to fire up
sysinst.

However, the -a boot makes radeon unhappy: it can not load the firmware
before mounting root, and after mounting root it crashes as soon as the
console device is opened.

>How-To-Repeat:

boot with -a on a system using radeon?

>Fix:
n/a

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	mrg

 Log Message:
 two changes to radeon drm firmware:
 - only install it by default on x86, set new MKRADEONFIRMWARE variable
 - install in /libdata, so that separate /usr systems work

 (this still doesn't solve PR#49811, which possibly could be handled by
 having them being a kernel module loaded by /boot.)
