I get similar results on my se/30 w/8Meg using the 7/8/94 kernel from cray. 

The bootup goes through the grey bars _much_ faster than the beta1 kernel.

Is there any way to control the console font size? In this kernel it was smaller.

However, it seems like  the adb ( or somthing) is sensitive to the breeze in the room although i sometimes get to run a few commands if i type slow before it goes into endless scrolling while printing the prompt and whatever else  I was typing:-(

The desktop dt crashed (I have two monitors ) and left a core but I couldn't seem to getgdb to recognize it as a core file. Also gdb did not find any symbols in dt although the file command said it was not stripped. So I went to recompile dt with the -g3 compiler flag which I have found produces executables which gdb then finds symbols ( and makes it so much nicer to debug ) Unfortunatly I didnt get very far because of a missing file adbsys.h which I could not find any where in /usr/include or /usr/src/sys/

Anyway despite the problems the whole thing looks like it is taking shape nicely!
