ok, I'm getting closer now. ;)  The major number for me is 32, but once I
tried that I was able to get the TR light to flash briefly with pppd, but then
netbsd locks up, the scsi light stays on and the keyboard doesn't respond to
anything.  Waiting for a new snapshot is probably easier, but I really wanna
start messing around with this, and get it set up before my 060 gets here. :)
