What is the deal with majordomo on netbsd.org? This is the second one I
have had to resend.

Hi,
Many, many people suggested:

So I have done that and it works. Thanks to everyone who wrote with
advice.
Umm, do you think someone could write up a quick README and toss it into
the various directories for people who are downloading the 1.3-ALPHA
snapshots? Since it is critical that you install a 1.3-ALPHA kernel
before you upgrade, you might want to alert people to this fact. Since I
saw no README in /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.3_ALPHA/mac68k/snapshot I foolishly
assumed that no special instructions were needed to upgrade.
