	Maybe now is a good time for me to dig out my VS3100/m38, and wipe
1.5 in favor of 1.6... Mine is maxed out with 32MB of RAM, and has a 600MB
and 2GB HDDs in a storage expansion unit. IIRC, the VS3100/m38 is one of
the few that doesn't like booting from anything over 1GB, right?

	Just curious, did you install using a serial console? I have the
19" monitor to run off the b&w framebuffer (it's GX, right?), so I'll be
installing it that way...
