I considered that, but decided it was too masochistic whilst challenged 
by the matter of first: how to get a kernel onto the machine.  8-)

I am now on my second FTP-based rebuild, am pleased with progress; I 
junked the first build after discovering that (a) /etc/ttys didn't make 
use of ttyE? (ie: there were no virtual consoles) and X would not 
start, declaring it to be lacking a "Core Pointer"; /dev/wsmouse access 
would yield "Device not configured" and things looked pretty grim.  I 
rebuilt with GENERIC, rather than GENERIC_LAPTOP, and hoopla the PCMCIA 
still works, and my finely-tuned X config works too.

This looks promising.  Thanks, all!
