After some pain and suffering trying to get NetBSD to netboot, and 
failing, upgrading to the 1.6 kernel make it start working...

Also, I've remember some talk earlier on this list about making a KZQSA 
driver.  Has anyone been working on that at all?  I've now got two of 
them (one each for my 4000/200 and 4000/300).  It'd be nice to have 
support either for the built-in SHAC DSSI controller, or at least KZQSA; 
of course it seems I've got too little free time to work on this anytime 
too soon.
