I have been tring several kernals I've found on various servers
and I don't know if this represents progress, but using netbsd.Oct23
the screen clears and I get the message:

[ preserving 90438 bytes of netbsd symbol table ]

then everything just locks up again. This _appears_ to be the
furthest I've got. Is this right?

Regards,
        Mark
