Yup, that's right, NetBSD on the AlphaStation is actually going
somewhere.  8-)

Note that there are still a lot of caveats:
	(1) it's using the PROM as console, because i've not un-kinked
		the serial console interface,
	(2) no NCR SCSI support yet,
	(3) i should be shot in the head for some of the code that i
		wrote to make it work; much of the PCI and ISA code
		needs a _LOT_ of cleanup...
	(4) still no framebuffer support.
	(5) as you can tell, a lot of things are still Just Wrong
		(e.g. it's only a single-processor box, but the kernel
		says that there are two...  8-).

I'm going to hopefully deal with (1) and (3) in the next few days,
then i'll make another kernel snapshot and kick it out so that people
can play with it if they want...

A hearty thanks to Matt Thomas of DEC, for providing a
freely-available 21040 driver that didn't need too much whacking to
make work on the alpha.  8-)
