A friend tried installing 1.6 onto his Blade100 earlier this
week, and failed due to the USB keyboard not being configured.
I told him he'd probably have better luck with 2.0_BETA, but to
check I grabbed a spare Blade100 and was surprised to see it
still not enabled in the INSTALL kernel.

Are there still too many bugs in machfb/wscons support to commit
the following diff?  It'd be nice for Blade100 users to be able
to install the 2.0 CD at their desktop, even if it may not be
all that useful after that (rather than having to sort out a
netboot).  It makes this Blade at least usable at the keyboard.

Unfortunately, having a USB keyboard doesn't help when hitting
bugs, as it stops working :-)  I managed to get this much when
attempting to enable ttyE* in ttys and setting up wscons, but
nothing else (pasted here incase it's useful):

  data fault: pc=3D12b03a8 addr=3D8
  kernel trap 30: data access exception
  Stopped in pid 479.1 (getty) at netbsd:rasops8_putchar8+0x104: st %g2, [%=
