	I downloaded both the GENERICSBC-46 and -47 kernels and gave them
a try. They froze during boot as well, but with the error (this may not be
exact wording, I'm not sitting in front of my computer) "panic: rsrchandlr
to small!!" it may have mentioned something about the rsrchandlr not
having enough memory and then it dropped me out into what looked like the
debugger (with the db> prompt), but it wouldn't accept keyboard input
(checked all the hardware connections on the keyboard, they're working).
When I get home tonight I'll try to download the 1.3_ALPHA kernel and let
you know what happens.

I'll try these and let you know.
