Is it possible to boot alternate kernels?  Looking at a 3.0beta
installation CD I burned, I see these in i386/binary/kernel:

netbsd-INSTALL.gz
netbsd-INSTALL_LAPTOP.gz
netbsd-INSTALL_PS2.gz
netbsd-INSTALL_SMALL.gz
netbsd-INSTALL_TINY.gz
netbsd-INSTALL_XENU.gz

But I confess I'm slightly puzzled -- looking at the install kernels 
from 2.0, I don't see AGP in any of the configuration files.
