Could you please forward this to the port-mac68k and current-users lists

it is taking literally 12 or so hours to be processed.  I sent my first
message about my problems at 11:00PM JST (Japan Standard Time). When I did
not receive a copy, I assumed that majordomo chewed it up, so I sent
another copy at 7:00AM JST.  I received my copy or the original
message from the list around 11:00AM JST.  I then received the copy for
the second message around 5:30PM JST.  

This is very strange.  I have never had any problems with using
majordomo@netbsd.org before.

Hi,

Many, many people suggested:

So I have done that and it works.  Thanks to everyone who wrote with
advice.

Umm, do you think someone could write up a quick README and toss it into
the various directories for people who are downloading the 1.3-ALPHA
snapshots?  Since it is critical that you install a 1.3-ALPHA kernel
before you upgrade, you might want to alert people to this fact.  Since I
saw no README in /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.3_ALPHA/mac68k/snapshot I foolishly
assumed that no special instructions were needed to upgrade.
