I had the same problem.  Thanks to everyone who helped; Brad (i think) for the
inquiries, Allen following up, Steve for taking the time to send
me a new kernel, and especially the person who posted about using macgzip
in ascii mode...

Retracing my steps, I noticed this inoccuous setting in MacCompress:

	CR <--> LF

with a little check mark to the left, of course..

So, after downloading all the Alpha2 tars a second time, I now have
MacBSD running on my machine.  :-)
