Hm. I wish I'd tried that last night... But then, I'd still be getting the
"archive corruption" problem. At any rate, last night while I was out I
downloaded NetBSD-i386 1.2.1, so I'll give that a whack as well. If it
chokes, then I have further hardware problems. If not, then... well...
maybe there's a problem with that particular -current snapshot. Either way,
I'll report back once I have some more information.

I haven't yet. I ought to... But I'm going to try 1.2.1 first, simply
because I'd rather there be a problem with -current than a problem with
this particular motherboard, since the next speediest alternative is a good
bit slower, and -current can be fixed... :P

That's my project this morning, anyway, so we'll have results soon.
