Never got far enough with the z50 to find out.  I finally threw in the
towel when the NetBSD boot paniced at "unable to start (find?)
/dev/console.  Is this a known problem with a workaround?  I was
installing by loading pbsdboot and the install kernel on a small dos
partition on the Microdrive, then booting the z50 and dragging down
the installation sets by NFS from my desktop.
