I've been planning a snapshot for a while, but then the the R4000
ld.elf_so thing got in the way.  I've also got some new bootblocks that
are ready to be committed after I hear the reports of one more test and
there's also a few funny disk reports - the non-existant drives (not
recent apparently) and reports of disks that sound like they're showing
up on asc1 on a 5000/200 instead of asc0.  I think it'd be better to
hold off on a snapshot just a little longer...

From memory, it takes about 18ish hours on a /260, and another couple
to build xsrc as well.
