If anyone's interested, I've finally got NetBSD 1.4 to boot on my
PowerCenter Pro 180.  I was having trouble booting the generic 1.4
kernel off the hard disk.  It was suggested that the kernel I was using
was corrupted, but this turned out not to be the case ( Bob Nestor was
kind enough to send me another CD without charge.)  Since the release
kernel didn't work I installed the 1999-06-20 snapshot and everything
booted fine.  :-)

BTW, X doesn't seem to like the fact that I don't have a mouse hooked up
to my keyboard (it has a builtin touchpad).  It says something about
kbd/mouse not existing, and then prints a few error messages.  I can
send the exact ones once I get PPP setup.  I'm guess my touchpad isn't
supported yet.
