thanks Greg.

I've started from scratch as a few folks suggested my pkgsrc could
be hosed.

If it fails i might try the build.sh.  Good idea.

Interesting about your Dad though. It just shows that 3.0 is a bit
picky about what hardware it runs on.

I've got 2.0 on as 3.0 won't have a bar of my machine.
It boots install kernel ok and installs fine.
Then GENERIC kernel on boot has a hernia.

we'll see how this goes.
just started the new build with fresh install and fresh pkgsrc from Q1 2006.

chs,
Paul.
