 In the absence of anything else, I put the latest build I've used on
 the affected system here:
 
 http://www.nyx.net/~rcbixler/NetBSD-6.1.4_PATCH-i386.iso
 
 I'm not sure how much bandwidth is available here, so this could be a
 rather slow download.  Also, I can't keep this file here indefinitely,
 so please let me know when you have the file and how your fare with
 booting from it.  I'll probably be obliged to delete the image soon.
