Hi: I spent a couple of days and tried the macbsd kernel in BETA-1 tarfiles
on IIVx. I can boot. Although the IIvx keyboard does not work, I use a
serial connection from my IIci. So far, it works OK. I used tip connection,
the modem works fine. I used both moden and printer ports and they each
give me a console. Everything looks pretty good.

Now, I hear that you have 4.4 IIvx specific kernal. I would like to try it
out. I am in a good situation to try things, since, I can boot from a
syquest that has macbsd on it, mount IIvx, and edit stuff. That is how I
got the beta-files working on IIvx.

Please let me know if I could try out the latest IIvx kernel and how I can
get it. I have macbsd working on IIci that is borrowed, so I am looking
forward for it to work on IIvx
