  Just did it on my 3100 with V7.01 PROMs and it worked fine (once I figured
out the goofiness with my tftp server).
  This is good since previous NetBSD kernels blew up on this machine with
TLB misses, although Ultrix worked fine.  Oops--just did some futzing around
in the shell and it died, same TLB miss in kernel mode.  Time to do some more
digging.
