Thank you.  That is likely the problem.  I had simply been trying to
boot the 3.0 kernel on what was otherwise an untouched 1.6 system.  I
gather that's a bad idea...  So now I'm trying to boot the installer
=66rom a SCSI tape so I can run sysinst and use it to accomplish the
upgrade, but it's not working for me.  The kernel apparently boots, but
it stops responding to input on the serial console after printing

eccmemctl0 at mainbus0 ioaddr 0x0: version 0x0/0x2

At this point I can't even get its attention by sending a break.

Thanks...
