        Which is?  I don't think I chose any boot loader when I
        installed this last November...  

        glad this got out!  (I *do* have a base arrow on the console,
        but w hen I bring up my old ctwm wm, the arrow is still frozen.
        [This is on ethic; the stuff below is on my old desktop, tao.
        Nice to have at least one spare to experiment with.]

        Mm. I'm using very, very old instructions.  I used this last
Feb, but it dates from March, '04! ::


  cd /usr/src; \
make buildworld; make buildkernel KERNCONF=TAO; make installkernel KERNCONF=TAO;

  reboot ; then go single
  cd /usr/src; \
  make installworld;
  mergemaster
  reboot
