That's great to hear! I ran across some references to it in the mailing
lsit archives, but when I installed via a botoable cd obtained from
ftp://ftp.mrynet.com/pub/os/NetBSD/arch/sgimips/RECENT it didn't appear
to be part of the install process. I'm about to try again with the
standard net install method.

Thanks for your help,
