Yes, it is quite clearly listed in the release notes. The fact that the
latest SRM for Jensen does not do bootp correctly at all does not help
I suppose :/ And then there is the fact that the Jensen won't boot the
floppy from within SRM and you are really stuck when netboot is out.

So, input is very welcome ;-)
