I tried 1.2.1, using the 1.3_ALPHA loadbsd.ttp (1.2.1 doesn't seem to
have its own loadbsd.ttp.)  That crashed.

I then fetched the 1.2 boot floppy.  That worked!

I then tried loading the 1.2.1 kernel with the loadbsd.ttp from 1.2.
That worked.

I then tried loading the 1.3_ALPHA kernel with the 1.2 loadbsd.ttp,
and that worked too!

I then re-fetched the 1.3_ALPHA loadbsd.ttp to make sure I hadn't
somehow corrupted my copy.  Still no luck, any kernel that I load
crashes.

The only other version of loadbsd.ttp I could find was in
pub/NetBSD/arch/atari/utils.tos.  That version also seems to cause
every kernel to crash.

So...something must have changed in loadbsd.ttp between 1.2 and the
last snapshot before the 1.3_ALPHA cut.  I know that's not much to go
on... but if you can get any old versions of loadbsd.ttp to me, I'd be
happy to test them, to try to pinpoint the bug.
