SERIAL?  Or SCSI?  Sounds like the latter (thankfully, we're not
communicating in IC numbers--8530 vs.5380 ;-).
I don't see how this has anything to do with serial.

That just means that the kernel on disk in /netbsd and the running
kernel are not in sync.  I assume that this was the case (i.e., you
booted from netbsd-1.1 and netbsd or booted one from MacOS or
something).

Am I correct in saying that:
	* With the 1.1 kernel, things were hosed.  Even with savecore
	  commented out.
	* With the kernel that I pointed you to last night, everything
	  seems OK again.  Except that savecore complained about not
	  being able to find device 105/108.
