The second, but since I am in our new office building and the Aero
(being a porttable :) is in the old office I can't test for you.
I only remember seeing the "density unknown" message though.

The one NetBSD/i386 system we run is one of the core routers, so
I am reluctant to start compiling too much on it just yet. Anyone
got a fast system I can borrow an ID on out there... I'll swap you
for a login on Wonderland.
