How fast is the modem? With data compression, you  get about 3x or 4x
over the raw data rate. Thus my 14400 can get about 3kB/sec rates.
38400 meshes with this rate nicely. Going to 57600 gains nothing, and
reduces the flexability of the kernel to respond to interrupts (as it
has to respond as fast as the characters arrive). As I've said before,
the serial ports are "use at your own risk" above say 28800. Note:
for sending, they're fine up to 57600. And reception should now
be fine at 57600, just you'll load the machine a lot.

The scsi drives are coming up numbered the same as before?

You overwrote a good kernel with a test kernel? Tisk, tisk! My root
has about 5 kernels scattered around at the moment. One works, one
is netbsd (a link to whatever's running so ifconfig works), and the
others are various debug kernels.

Is disklabel staticly linked? The partition mounting code was recently
changed, so you might be getting partitons in new places. The problem
might be that you seem to have a /usr partiton, and most commands need
the shared libraries in /usr/lib. :-(

disklabel should be able to tell you were the partitions are placing
themselves. Then a quick fix to /etc/fstab, and you're done.

Take care,
