Here's the deal:

	I installed the TinyBSD floppy, and then i copied a new kernel on
top of 386bsd (386bsd.nostrip.X or something like that).  Anyway, it wouldn't
boot up after that, so am i doing something wrong?  Do i need to something
special to switch kernels besides copying it to /386bsd ?

	And while I'm at it, how do i access the hard disk from the fixit
disk?  I'd like to copy the old kernel back so I can boot up again :)
(it's device wd0 i think it says on bootup)

	And I thought I was home free with this installation stuff...
