  With your help, I did figure out the problem. I was booting the new
kernels with the old booter that was working with the netbsd.CI kernel.
Today I completely changed the system by getting the latest tar_files from
kitten from dist.tgz modified last on feb 28th. It boots with the latest
1.0 booter. Although rebooting ia hard. Now, I know that I have to ;

1) Completely shut and start the mac;
2) Make sure thar memory in booter is 16meg from bank A in CI(I have 4 Meg
in Bank B. Booter initializes 20 Meg). The booter has hard time. It wants
to auto-size RAM. But I found after hard work that only, bank A Meg should
be used. I hope this will work all the time.

   So, I will be able to use the new kernels after all. Recompile it for
57600 bps, like you mentioned.

   My real question. Where is /dev/ser0 for the modem and /dev/ser1 for the
printer in the new system. I saw /dev/tty, /dev/tty1, and/dev/tty0. I tried
them but did not work. Please let mr know

   I hope this new system works well, or I might go back to the old
one(tar_files from cray-ymp from Jan)

   Thanks for all the help you have given. I have found this exremely hard,
but then I am impatient and I want to finish what I start, (usually).

Sincerely;
