The Beta PatchKit contains all of the X patches; it also contains a SLIP
patch and an error reporting patch which are incorrect and will prevent
X from being run.
You *must* define the UCONSOLE and XKERNEL as options and reconfig after
installing the Beta patchkit.
I hope to be able to put up some more patches RSN, mostly to undo the
errors in the inital patches (four found so far).
