Like I expected, thanks.

DIAGNOSTIC doesn't work, two SPL level constants come up undefined.

I didn't see a copy of installboot in the NetBSD heirarchy, how do I 
install NetBSD bootblocks?

Know anything about using kgdb. I found it a Most Excellent tool 
for kernel debuging. It would be nice if L1-A breaks could be cascaded
as OBP does with kgdb. So with DDB and kgdb installed, the first break
going into the kgdb stub, from their breaking into DDB, and from their
breaking into OBP.

	OBP <- DDB <- KGDB
