	Yeah, except for the fact that I don't have a machine to compile
on until I get my new Q900 setup how I want it, so I can make my Q630 a
full-time NetBSD machine. And, I'm in installation limbo right now...
trying to get the remains of some things I want to save so I can just wipe
my IIcx's drive and do a full partition/installation/house-cleaning job.
Luckily most of the stuff I really have worked with have been in /etc and
/usr/local so I just had to archive some stuff and FTP it to other
machines ;-)

	Sounds good. I've experienced that shutdown hang before... wasn't
one fix to compile a new kernel and change some of the configs to change
the kernel size? Is there an other known fix for this? Eventually I would
like to get the machine running headless (since the monitor I have it
running with is on loan ;-))
