Well, the first item turned into "move the srvd local," which I've
done. jaws no longer trusts any AFS cells. On jweiss's advice I will
skip integrating the rkinitd hack. So I think the machine is more or
less set up in its final configuration, minus dialup-specific scripts
and processes I don't know much about.
We ran into several possible hardware problems with the machine:
* "le0: crc mismatch" errors
* Occasional "excessive collision" errors from le0
* AFS performance seems on the slow side compared to other
NetBSD machines; this may be my imagination (I noticed it
while copying over the srvd, which isn't the kind of
operation I do very often).
* Very occasional timeout warnings from bt0 on the internal
disk; these don't cause problems
* After any significant amount of activity on the external
disk, the machine hangs with several iterations of:

Charles will be looking at the last problem tonight.
