Well, it's chugging along now... the newfs generates a lot of output and
the scrolling is very slow, but it works... I'll just install kern +
base + etc now, since the VAXen are behind a NAT which does not do ftp
proxying, so a real ftp install probably won't work (but I'll try
anyway). After these sets are on the disk, I'll move the disk to the
M38 (a galaxy far, far away... ;-)

There is one small complication: the boot.fs had a disklabel on it that
did not match the real disk, so I edited it by hand before (re)starting
sysinst. So if the procedure fails too soon, I'll have to start over
from Ultrix (or re-boot the tape of course). (In fact I'm doing that
already since I left the network unplugged and now ping won't even send
packets).

In the Up position, the console is now on <=> 3, where it used to be on
<=> 1. I'm interested to see how Ultrix reacts to that.
