	Hmmm. Unfortunately, it appears that there are two different Booters
which both claim to be v1.9.5. The one I was talking about was:

From: Dan Jacobowitz <youngdrow@mail.geocities.com>
Subject: B/W Booter Available
 
All right folks, I'm sorry this took so long.  I have compiled a new
booter.  I'm calling it 1.9.5 (any objections?).  It will be available
within half an hour at <http://crab.rutgers.edu/~jacobowi/netbsd>.  Note
that this is not a declaration of intent to maintain the Booter.
 
In fact, I will be leaving this list shortly.  School presses harder now,
and I don't have time for NetBSD.  In a couple months, perhaps, I will
return.  I'll just stick around long enough to see if anyone finds a
problem in the Booter.
 
Changes: Option for B/W Mode booting!
         Rearranged prefs dialogs
         Fixed the buttons in the Untested Machine dialog.

	The other one, which appears to be the one on the proper FTP sites,
doesn't seem to have been announced on the list. The first mention of it
that I could find in the port-mac68k list was here:

The screen snapshot seems to indicate that you're using a 1.8 version of
the Booter... is that true?  You will find that's not very compatible with
current kernels due to a resource allocation shortfall.  Get the newest
version of the booter you can find... I'm using a 1.9.5 version (there
were 2 of them, both unofficial; one from Allen, one from a random user).

	Allen, do you remember what changes went into this booter?
