Bleah.  Hopefully there's no change in functionality.

Yeah, I wish they'd chose better names for bootloaders.  And every platform
uses different names for installation tools that do the same thing.

Fair 'nuff.  Will do.

Good point.

:)Nice doc though!  Much better than when I first tried muttling through it

Thanks.

:)Is the scsi support pretty much parked?

At least with the 1.5.3_RC1 kernel available on ftp.netbsd.org it doesn't
recognize my SCSI.  I haven't tried compiling a -current kernel for my cube
yet.
