... But this is a non-issue if you haven't tried to load Linux first, because
it was the Linux installer which wiped out the disk table.  The original fdisk
table was fine.

Runs okay.  The msk0 interface hangs the system something fierce when it's in
use, producing things like top claiming it's using 27143% of CPU time.  No
idea why.  The ath0 interface seems to work just fine.  I'll use ath0 to get
the source tree over and set things up so I can do some more local debugging.
(I'm a bit worried about this part, because I have had trouble getting
keyboard input to the NetBSD boot loader; I may need to use the install CD
to recover if a new kernel doesn't work.)
