Ah, great, but only in the 2.6.x kernel I suppose? I thought the
2.4.27-2 kernel I'm running came from the etch cd, but maybe not.

No, I do the -fl i to use aboot interactively and choose "0", but
just for jollies I just tried in choosing "1" to see if it did anything
different (not that I had a term hooked to ttyS0) but there's no
response to the keyboard after /boot/linux goes. After about a 30-45 sec
the keyboard lights flash, but then nothing happens after that, and it
has done that with everything from 31r0 onwards.
