	Hi Folks. There is a new Booter for testing - 1.11.4a3
It has some small improvements on 1.11.4a1, but since I haven't
recieved any feedback on it, I have had the former removed from
all of the servers. Here are the locations:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/installation/misc/Booter1.11.4a3.sea.hqx
ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/NetBSD/macos/Booter1.11.4a3.sea.hqx

	Please test this Booter. It should have gone out in 1.4,
and Scott and I would really like the MACHID fix to be available
soon (1.4.1)


	Here are the changes from 1.11.3 to 1.11.4a3:

* New dialog for machine specific stuff
  (RAM size, video address hack, VBL interrupt disable)
* New items to change MACHID (for clock-chipped or accelerated Macs)
* New warning alert when running on PPC Macs,
  and item to disable it for UI testing
* Allegro Finale accelerator driver disabling code
* Extra debug output summarising machine and MacOS details
* Updated booter manual, new section 'Debugging the boot process'
