Now a separate problem. I did all those needed steps, but now I can't
seem to get a correct boot without a monitor attached. This box used to
run fine as a server; I only connected the monitor to diagnose the
problem with the upgrade.
I heard the startup chime, the drive spinup for MacOS, a pause about as
long as the delay I've got in Booter, and then another round of disk
activity as NetBSD boots. But no matter how long I wait, I cannot
connect by telnet nor ssh as I could before. The address isn't even
pingable. I guess I'll have to go back and read every line of the
INSTALL file to see if there's any networking changes.
Certainly been an interesting upgrade so far.
