Hmm, I wonder what sets this one off.  I've never gotten it while
doing a make, but shortly after unpacking it here in WA, I got two
in 24 hours, and none since.  I did finally get the boot blocks to
load the symbol table for DDB.  I guess the zillionth time is a charm.
(I know I reloaded it at least three times after first hearing that
a recompile and reload would do it.)

Sign me up for one please.  If I don't score high enough on the
list, I'm going to make a parallel conversion kit for the pc532
and a cable to the SparcLX which just got it's parallel port driver
enabled in the kernel. 8-)  (Of course, I think you already knew all
that, but I thought I'd make my request public...)
