OK! It works. :)

I've sucessfully installed NetBSD 1.2 after many hours ftp'ing it
with no major problems. My only gripe is that the BOOT kernel has
only 1 view rather than the more useful 2 making it no good to me
and the BOOTX kernel has 4 views & a mouse making it a little too
big for my 4Mb system. :(

I am in the process of ftp'ing the kernel src (I only need ksrc12.*
yes?) so I can build my own lean and mean kernel. ;)

I haven't encountered any SCSI problems this time, have had one crash
(Panic: MMU fault) which I think was due to running out of RAM with
the BOOTX kernel. It failed to sync disks after this crash but no
data was lost.

The only bug I've noticed so far is in the screen display - the
screen isn't always "centered" - sometimes the right hand edge wraps
onto the left edge. Pressing alt + function key repeatedly makes the
screen jump about and eventually it ends up in the right place, but it
is a tad annoying to have to press alt-f1 5 times instead of once. :(

Other thing is that ser02 still doesn't work in 1.2 (not surprising I
guess) but thats one thing I'll play around with once I have the
kernel sources.
