Did you have to take special steps, or is this in the generic install
kernel on the boot floppy images at netbsd.org?  How does it know which
serial port to use, or does it use all of them at once?

Personally, I like sysinst and have found it more convenient than the average
install utility.  I just want to make it clear that I am not arguing for it
to be changed, I'm just bullshitting.
