I haven't been able to get askroot to work.  Is this because my kernel
is compiled with:
	config	netbsd root on sd1 swap on sd0 and sd1
Can I just drop the "root on sd1"?

    Michael v. Elst certainly has used the newest SAS/C compiler for gobsd.

I'm sure he did, but I tried to compile it myself, so that I could run
it with CPR.  Either his header files are non-standard or mine are,
and I'm pretty sure mine are exactly what SAS provided.  His SCOPTIONS
contained a GST which I don't have, so I expect that the header files
in the GST have a little "extra."

    gobsd requires the volume to load the kernel from to be mounted.  The
   partition must be standard NetBSD-filesystem.  The kernel must be named
   "netbsd" and not be a softlink.

I've done that.  I can load it if the file is specified as a full
path, like kernel=bffsg:netbsd, but not with just volume=bffsg:
