	I'm using Mac OS X 10.2.8's Terminal.app, which claims to be 
vt100, through minicom. The bad display is probably Terminal.app's 
fault -- I'll try through an (Apple) xterm next -- but I was very 
surprised that arrow keys wouldn't work in ANSI mode.

	FWIW, I mentioned that primarily as an indication that I 
might not have hit BootMgr, since I couldn't see what I was doing 
well. The more serious problems are package conflicts and nonworking 
boot code...
