Could we please have a copy of your "hacked" kernel?  We have a collection
of DEC 5000/200's we were hoping to back up using dump(8), however
we can only use a current kernel for it to work.  I'm quite happy to
have different kernels on different types of systems, so long as
they work.

Many thanks.
