Okay, I've now checked and see that if I disconnect the cable, it
does boot alright on it's own. Actually, I pulled the keyboard out
of the keyboard port too, so I should check one and not the other.
But, unless the NetBSD boot blocks behave differently when there's a
keyboard, I wouldn't expect that to be the issue...
Thanks!
