Did a couple RC1 upgrades, amd64 and aarch64 so far.

Stuck on the #RaspberryPi 0W which has lost its pkg remote repository somehow.

Stymied by the kernel being in a different place than other ports.
#RTFM
"with different boot loader schemes ...
netbsd-GENERIC: A normal kernel in ELF format.
netbsd-GENERIC.img: In NetBSD >= 9, formatted for the RPI bootloader.
netbsd-GENERIC.bin:
In NetBSD >= 9, ??????
In NetBSD 9, this kernel WILL NOT boot.
netbsd-GENERIC.ub: A kernel in uboot format.
...
copy this either to /boot/kernel.img (First generation Pi, Pi Zero hardware) or to /boot/kernel7.img (Pi 2, Pi 3 hardware)
..."

Resolved by doing a fresh install to another microSD card, tarring the boot kernel files and replacing them in the #RasperryPi0W. Looks like the kernel is behaving better than the last beta I ran, or I have not hit it hard enough. One core rules!

A #NetBSD11RC1 burn test, running xscreensaver on a 1 core Pi0W. At first it crashed, but now it's been crawling with ants for 24 hours.
