I booted up BL3 with it, no modules, and X works fine! Mouse
and keyboard.

Not only _that_, but my serial card/port was also configured!

(Thanks not only to your kernel, but to Steven's new
setserial.)

Now, all I have to do is get the chat script for eznet composed
and I'm on the internet with BL3, which for _me_ will mean that
it's a functional OS.

Thanks a bunch,

Lee
