Thanks, Matthew.  It's a Digital-supplied card, part of the default setup for the
1200.  I have a null serial link, but I'm not able to get past the Terminal type
request.  What settings will I need for the SRM and/or kernel, to capture the
boot sequence, and still have control of sysinst or /bin/sh?  (I can control the
SRM properly through serial, but lose it on NetBSD)

Hell, this is weird.  I've used NetBSD since 0.8, and I've _never_ had to do
this.  I feel so...  ...special...  :)

Thanks again,
dhop
