hi castor,

Having access to the machines is cool; thanks to SGI and ot you for
the offer. But I dont understand what the goal of the exercise is,
here.  Getting a NetBSD-compiled kernel to boot with the standard Indy
boostrap tools?  If so, wouldn't we need both the machine and access
to a serial console (or equivalent) via the net?

(And how much of this can be done without at least a console-io driver
for Indys?)
