Anyone else confused yet? ;^>

Just in case you were getting your hopes up, this doesn't mean that
a USB-enabled kernel fits on a floppy, just that netbsd.ram.gz has
USB support. (boot.fs still lacks it.)

Probably true. I'm using X stuff from 1.5E (which was running on the
machine doing all this building prior to a make build), but I don't
expect it's changed much.

It should be noted, though, that all I do is X forward xterms from
the machine; I'm not running an X server on it.

If anybody's got a spare 18 GB SCSI disk they want to throw my way,
this would all happen much faster... ;^>
