I've got enough disk space.  I'll see what I can do.  The last build I did
was 4 hours for the kernel, 61 hours for -current.  I think it was
fractionally slower without UVM.

At the minute I'm just having a problem with -current not seeing the
Crazy Dots card.  When I've got that sorted and (hopefully se0 too),
I'll see about uploading a snapshot.

Having grabbed the tar files from last weekend, I see that I can't `config`
a kernel - the isipnp stuff doesn't need including any more.  There was also
a problem with atari/bus.c, but I see it's now fixed :-)

I don't think I have enough free space :(  When I can get rid of xsrc ...

Yes, there are a few things that need to be done first.  If anyone wants the
list, let me know.  It's not a very long list.

Thanks.  I'll see if I can order it here.
