Doing the 1.0 to 1.1 upgrade thing (i386) and have run into the following 
snags:

 1) I haven't been able to get swapon (swapon -a) to recognize the second 
    swap partition on sd1.  Keep getting a "device not configured" error. 
    The sd1b and rsd1b block special devices are freshly created ("MAKEDEV 
    all") in /dev.

 2) While I can load up XFree (3.1) ok, none of the xterms will load.
    redirecting startx stderr to a file shows that I'm getting a "Error 
    23,  errno 25: Inappropriate ioctl for device" message.  Again, all the 
    ttyp*'s are there in /dev.

 3) Brain Buhrow had a bi-directional serial patch I was using under 1.0.  
    I notice the target source file (com.c) has moved in the source tree 
    and it no longer "patches" cleanly with his old 1.0 patch file.  Does 
    anyone know if there is an updated 1.1 patch available?


any pointers and suggestions are welcome.  Even RTFM's, as long as you 
point me toward a FM to R.

thanks,
