Had an 18-hour power failure since last post. 

Downloaded the 3.99 snapshot, burned it using K3b -complained "Seems not to be 
a usable image" set K3b to ISO9660 and raw, and hey presto! it worked.

Booted the Indy, used the fb, not serial console; console a bit wonky with 
green text about some interrupt problem(sorry, I forget the exact words)

Luckily I remember the installer sequence well enough to semi-blind- type 
bullshit my way through up to the point where the install medium for the sets 
is picked. I then inserted the (non-bootable) 2.0.2 cd, and completed the 
install with no errors. 

Thank-you to whoever had the foresight to put the aoutboot-kernel on as well 
by default, since the "netbsd" kernel did not work, and I had to specify 
aoutboot in the PROM.

Now that it boots and runs, I can start setting everything else up.

Thanks for the help, guys.
