-current and 1.4 a.out _should_ be backwards compatilble with previous
bootblocks.  ELF will only work with bootinfo capable bootblocks (ie
about 25th March).  Can you try either -current or 1.4 ALPHA bootblocks?
The official line will be that you need these for 1.4 anyways (and
_will_ need them to disk boot a RAMDISK kernel).

For 1.4, should we remove the mcclock debug?
