This was all nice and successful, though I had to use the SBC kernel -- 
with 1.5, however, I didn't have to. This is no problem, but I felt it 
may be of benefit to those interested in this side of the system to 
mention this.

I also got some persistant filesystem errors which although fsck claimed 
it fixed and marked the filesystem clean it never quite seemed to; until 
I did it out of single user mode (ie: in the standard boot sequence). 
But after that it was marked clean properly.

These are my new findings. Hopefully they will be of use.

Secondly, I wonder how far we are getting with the booting straight into 
NetBSD, is it likely that this could be put as another method for 
booting when 1.5.1 is released (iminently, I believe)? Any information 
would be nice on this.

As I write this I realise just how great a system we have here, so I 
think it my duty to say thanks. Thanks!

All the best.

Matthew
