I just tried to install the new patchkit up to patch 110 + Chris's com
driver + lpr without success - the system reboots immediately upon
trying to load via Julian's boot blocks (where the NO DDB SYMBOLS
message might appear).  All the patches took okay (except one: in the
00099 set, which I think modifies /dev/MKDEV).  I ran dbsym on  the
kernel, but this makes no difference.

The new patch kit was installed by first deleting /usr/src and
/usr/include and then restoring these from the bin01 and src01
distrbutions.  The AHATEST kernel compiled without a hitch using gcc
1.39.

I am currently running at patch level 58 + Julian's SCSI + Chris's com
driver + X without problem.

My system:
386PC/40 (Taiwanese) w/ 16 MB RAM + Cyrix 387/40.
1542B SCSI controller
SMC8003 EP Ethernet adapter
16550AFN Serial card
Diamond 24 (ET4000) video card

Any and all suggestions are welcomed.  Thanks.
