Thanks to all for suggestions and pointers.  I've got a new kernel 
built, with the lk201.c patch so the 3100 mouse works.  Haven't tried 
it yet--the machine's in my office, and I'm at home.

By the way, I had a problem with mainbus.c that I fixed by adding the 
ioasic line back to my Makefile. No big loss... but because of that, 
I'm not sure how long my kernel build was.  My guess though was 1-2 
hours.  It's a 3100 with 24 MB and old Maxtor 300MB SCSI disks.

Can't wait to get X running on it on Monday!  This thing makes a 
great X term--I've got Novell's Lan Workplace Pro X-Server (bascially 
NCD's PC-Xware) on my PC (P200, 48 MB RAM, S3 graphics,) and it's 
just as usable.
