	  According to the release notes (INSTALL.txt:453-455), this snapshot
	does not support the serial port, keyboard, or mouse of PCI based
	systems.  If this is correct?  Is this port still unusable on Ultra
	5/10/etc class PCI workstations?

None of those devices are supported in 1.5.  1.5 uses the PROM 
console on PCI machines.  The keyboard/mouse on a 16550 is supported
in -current but that code is not very stable right now and won't
be in 1.5.

	  It also looks like some of the binary sets are missing, specifically
	the kernel set.  Did your upload die?

That has been remedied.
