I just jumped straight to the snapshot.. downloaded new kernel source, and
rebuilt.  When Matt's fixes came out.. I downloaded dev/sun and arch/sparc/dev,
overwrote my kernel dirs with that, and rebuilt.. worked like a charm.

As far as installing.. since I still don't have an AUI for it.. I borrowed a
tape drive from work, and just made tapes to install with.. The scsi port is
extremely useful. ;)

I decided that doing the snapshot would be easier than doing 1.4 now..  a) any
fixes Matt or others decide to do would be in current, and b) no a.out->elf
transition if you install ELF to start with.. ;)

A question for anyone.. has anyone tried to use the external video hookup with
this thing?  I had thought about replacing my xterm at work with this little
guy.. but looking through the 9100 source, it hardcodes the 800x600
resolution..  At work I have a big 21" monitor.  Ideally I would run the video
in 1152x900 or somesuch, and display to the big monitor, and then run 800x600
when going "solo"..
