Just upgraded my 4/330 and sparc 4 from 1.3 to 1.3.2.  Thanks for all
the work that has gone into releases.  Much appreciated.

I forgot about sd0<->sd3 for the 4/330 (even though it was right there in
the doc), and I managed to end up with a choice of sd0, sd1, sd2 and sd3
for root disk.  Not sure how that happened as I only have 3 disks - maybe
because I'd not edited my original fstab (which had sd0).

After the upgrade, I added SCSI scanners and SCSI unknown to the kernel.
1.3.2 will still lockup if it detects an HP scanner.  Can the fix be
added to 1.3.3 (if there is one) please?

I notice that the install doc doesn't mention that a cgsix0 will work on a
sun4.  I've been running it since 1.2 and it seems fine apart from if I
paste a large amount of text into an xterm on the 4/330, not all of it is
displayed but it all makes it to the destination file OK.   This doesn't
happen on the sparc 4, so I presume it's something that only happens on
slower machines.  Has anyone else seen this?

Finally (not really sparc specific), I thought I'd try out the package
system.  I started out with (cd /usr; ln -s local pkg), but I couldn't
get any packages to install.  It seems pkg_add dies if /usr/pkg is a
symbolic link.
