In light of list responses to my netbooting questions, I grabbed the src on 2/6/01, made tweaks so it would link, built a kernel with serial console support (and no VT support), ran elf2ecoff, booted with console=ttyS0, and was able to reach a prompt on my Indy. Here (I think) are the changes since then...
