No problem. And it might be useful to use an emulator to test in the
future, because I had good results with gxemul. It's good for
debugging, anyway.

Ok, I guess what I'm asking is, is it enough that the kernel boots? Do
you expect that we might have exposed something that needs testing?
Maybe I can do this, if necessary.

Also, I'm assuming that these patches will work in the other branches?
I have not tried booting netbsd-2, but if it got the new version of
the file that was edited to cause this, I'd expect it to have the same
problem. In anycase, I'll synch each branch and build kernels and see
what happens, then try to apply the patch and again see what happens.
