My suggestion is that you make sure of the following:
	1) you're using the Alpha2/*.tar.Z files off of
		cray-ymp.acm.stuorg.vt.edu
	2) you're using the MacSideUtils.cpt.bin off cray-ymp, except
		replace "MacBSD booter" with newbooter-8k_4k.cpt.bin.
	3) you're using the kernels/netbsd.CI kernel also off cray-ymp.
	4) you have enabled 32-bit execution from the "Memory" control
		panel.
	5) now here's the screwy part.  I can't remember if we ran the
		CI kernel with the internal video connected to a monitor
		or not.  Please try both ways if you can.  I suspect you
		need the internal video disabled.  (That just means no
		monitor connected.)
	6) your fingers are crossed.

Please let us know in excruciating detail how many graybars you get,
what settings you used in the booter, where you got your tar files and
so on...  Too much information is almost enough.
