OK. The -current kernel I tried before was compiled with MRG ADB. I also
tried the -current HWDIRECT kernel. This one got farther, it started to
boot multi-user, and then while loading the daemons the /etc/rc script
failed with the error "ld.so: bad magic" and returned to a single user
shell. I then tried an "ls -l /" which kicked me right into the debugger.
The filesystem was slightly corrupted when I brought it back up under
1.3.1, but a quick fsck fixed all of that with no problem.

So, there's something clearly wrong with MRG ADB, and there's something
clearly wrong otherwise. Hmm.

BTW: Does the UVM virtual memory system still have "additive" swap? In
other words, is the total memory available to userland programs built-in
memory plus swap (as it should be, and as it was under NetBSD 1.3.1), or
just swap (as it is under Mac OS)?
