First of all, thanks for all the hard work on this and all past netbsd
releases, it's appreciated by everyone.  I had a couple questions/comments
about the snapshot.

First of all, I was only able to get the install to work by doing a minor hack
to install.md, changing the mount flags to -oro instead of -ro, I dunno if
that is particular to my configuration, but I thought I'd mention it in case
anyone else was having problems mounting amigados drives to extract the
snapshot.

Second, I was kinda hoping that the gvp i/o device would be supported in this,
but it doesn't appear to be, although there's various gio things in the
-current source (my troubles getting that working are a whole 'nother story ;)
).  Can anyone shed any light on this?  Netbsd isn't nearly as exciting
without the net part. :)

I was messing around with x, and got everything going and it was working fine,
but then I mounted an ez135 drive, and the whole screen got corrupted and was
a weird "random pixels placed over the current screen" kinda thing, when I
typed things in an xterm, I could see things moving in an   XOR sorta way, but
not much changed.  Any ideas on that?

On a side note, how do you quit X?  I just do a shutdown -r ; reboot, but
that's less than desirable. :)

Once I get this thing running correctly, I'd be more than happy to test things
for people, or whatever, I'm no brilliant coder, but I know my way around a
makefile.

Moses.
