In fact, this worried me so I loaded it down again.  The installer seemed
to report that it was 0.2 -- I already had 0.3 so I don't know whats going
on but continued to use 0.3 anyway

All of the following were done with the 8k/4k booter in 24 bit mode.

netbsd.ii:	freezes after 1 (ONE) gray-bar
netbsd.ci:	22 gray-bars (yowee! thats the first time I have seen that
		many) then freeze
netbsd-current: (This was #11 23 Dec 23:09:15)
		boots right up to 
		"A: Root 'A/UX Root'  .....
		 B: Swap 'Swap' .....
		and then freezes.  Console swapping seems to work cos the
		screen flickers but there are no shells or logins anywhere.

I haven't re-mkfs'd the disk and I assumed that 0.3 was better than 0.2 so
embarassingly I appear to have ignored this almost completely.  If you 
like, I can go back and do it .....
