I'll drag out a monitor and poke around.  If you're
(reasonably) sure that it's NBSD related (vs. something
in the boot ROMs!), I can just test it on *one* box
and get "conclusive evidence"...  :>   It would be a real
pain to have to drag the monitor around to *each* box just
to see which ROM versions were the problem (if that was
the case...)

Of course!  I just anted to know if this was a "update your
boot ROM" issue or a "NetBSD bug-fix"...
