On 24-Nov-97 Wilko Bulte spoke unto us all:
# Start tt class, port (graphics, keyboard, then serial) drivers
# entering idle loop
# DEC AXPpci166 MT Common Console X4.5-780, built on Feb 23 1996 at 22:03:13
# change stdin/out/err c

Is that the SRM console version number??  looks nothing like mine..

version                 BL5 V3.8-3 Aug 10 1995 03:22:55

Soren reported to me that 3.8-2 works for netbooting..and he tried 3.8-3 (what
I have, and what is on gatekeeper) and it does not work..

I for one would truly appreciate this code.. I'm going to build a floppy and
hack my way into a netboot (via a horribly slow flopy kernel load.. UGH)  But
would like the ability to just have it boot without having to do something so
greusome.

Thank you..
