Just a quick note here. Nikos, I replaced just the kernel file and 
hpcboot.exe with the files you sent me, and it works! I'm getting some 
errors when it boots, but I can log in fine, and even X works. No more 
time to work on it now, but thanks. I'll report more when I have 
investigated a little further. Your version of hpcboot was definitely 
different than the one I downloaded from netbsd.org. It had many more 
options for regional variations.

Thanks,
Mike
