Yep I checked out -current from cvs yesterday ~6pm. I updated 'config'
to what was in tar_files. I'm just compiling the kernel right now
(233mhz...), but is there anything else essential to update? Maybe
'installboot'?  

[before I sent the above e-mail I got Chris's]

Okay, using the backlight being turned off by booting from 'boot
ide0/@0:0' I was able to turn the screen up. I had assumed that since
when booting automatically I was not able to un-dim the screen that I
couldn't when I booted manually but apparently it's different. (That
problem persists.) Anyhow, I'm quite satisfied by this though. I'm still
going to test -current (I missed some drivers so I need to recompile,
but I'll get back to you.) By the way, the kernel debugger is terrific. 

Still need to figure out where I went wrong when booting automatically. 

Okay, thank you very much for your help, and I'll let you know how -
current goes. 

Thanks, 
 - Anthony
