Hello, everyone.

Thanks for your help and advice on getting my Classic II to boot.  Thanks
especially to Andrew Foakes, who sent me a lovely how-to detailing the
procedure for installing the system and giving it a preliminary 
configuration.  It's surprising what little things can do.  The last 
stumbling block was my terminal settings on the console--8N1 vs. 7N1 
makes a huge difference--so now I can log in as root, and some things 
work.

Strangely though, I have found that nothing in the /usr/sbin directory is 
recognized as a valid command.  /bin works, /usr/bin works, just no 
sbin.  By 'work', I mean that it runs as expected or gives an appropriate 
error message, not just "Don't know what you mean by that, boss [sic]."  I'm 
using the generic#5 kernel on a classic II: no fpu, 4 M RAM, 15 M swap.  
Base11 and etc11 are installed, but nothing else.

Please let me know if I am being annoyingly obtuse.

Chris
