Woo hoo!  I swapped the order of my 16 and 4 MB simms and now the system
works great... both NetBSD 1.4.2 and OpenBSD 2.6 boot.

Maybe we should mention this somewhere in install.txt?  I guess it is
a hardware conifguration problem, but the previous configuration did work
with 1.3.3 (without any hint of problems).

Thanks Julian
