There are a few Dell 2650s at work running NetBSD. Problems booting
on new install Dells are standard, but easy to fix, as noted in that
message.  I haven't gotten a Dell machine that runs recent current
that displays this problem though, not sure if it's fixed.

That PR grew since last time I looked at it.  Good thing I'm getting
some more Dells in to test on soon.
