Hi, 
  I was using a kernel with X compiled in, until I rebuild my own after
installing patchkit-0.2.3. Then I found that I can not tip/kermit to
my 2nd serial port (configured as com1 in patchkit-0.2.3), and as a result
I can't run X now. Note that I skip the buildworld.sh script a it will
take a long time, does that matter ? Has anyone experienced the same
problem before ?

  Also, I am using IDE HDD, configured as wd0, I wonder does 386bsd always
recognize/use partition b as swap space ? Currently I do not have an explicit
entry in /etc/fstab stating /dev/wd0b is swap device, but if I am to add that
line in, will it cause any damage at all by any chance ?

  Many thank in advance!
