I think it should just plain not be a part of the generic and install
kernels, if possible.

They are the same kernel I think. No modules to load in NetBSD (yet).
You should be able to do that with no problems since the hpcmips
kernels are the same for all machines.

I can't say other than the battery compartment in the 880 says don't
use the one from the 800. I've been thinking about making my own
separate battery that plugs into the charging jack, maybe velcro it to
the bottom or something. There were some batteries on ebay a while
back but the seller was firm at $55 each, kind of silly but that's all
I could find.

Just checking through the 3-0 kernel config, it looks like this is
probably the power management:

# temporally power management
hpcapm0=09at mainbus0=09=09=09# power management
apmdev0=09at hpcapm0=09=09=09# APM

Maybe I'll try building a kernel without it and see what happens.
