Hi!  I run NetBSD 1.1 on a 386sx16 and a 486dx100, and I have the 
following problems:

Systems:
386sx AMD, chips & tech. chipset 8 megs ram. Generic IDE controler.
486dx100 GenuineIntel, SIS chipset, 12 megs ram. Generic IDE controler.

1) The 386sx *constantly* panics while booting, I have had at least 7 
savecores.

2) How do I get a EtherExpress 16 to work?  The install guide states 
that the EE16 is suported by default (I am using KCOTH), but what is the 
proper /dev to use?

3) Can I get tar or gzip to span? (Or, can I get XFree86 in 1.3 meg 
chunks?)
