The FreeBSD endless reboots are at an end !!!! JOY TO THE WORLD (insert
frenetic little dance of joy here).

Using the boot blocks for 1.1.5.1 works like a dream.  I didn't even 
have to install them on my hd.  I just typed booted using the 1.1.5.1
kcopy_ah and then typed `hd(0,a)/386BSD' at the prompt.

Now I get to run this on my 486-66 rather than my 386-33.

Thanks to everybody who offered suggestions, especially a certain
all around tech weenie.
