OK, I finally got one of my 3/80s to netboot off of my Linux
box the bootloader and ramdisk kernel. All I have to do now is dd
over the miniroot onto /dev/rsd0b and reboot to begin the installation
proceedure. I should have 1.3 installed this evening.
So, once I recompile the latest kernel with cgfour support,
will I also have to recompile my Xserver as well? I noticed that it's
a common binary across a couple of arch's - I'm hoping I won't have to
bother...
Thanks!
