I got the Xircom working finally.  Had to put the right lines in
/etc/modules.conf.  I should email the people who told me they
couldn't get them to work ...

And I kept typing 'mg' when I wanted to edit something, so I found
'ng' on Debian's packages page through google.  I downloaded
the source and built it, (I tried at least 3 other microemacs that
were apparently too old, because they didn't build) and threw it in
/usr/local/bin/mg.  Nice, except that the backspace key gives me
"a b c: " in the bottom line, and pressing the delete key, causes
the cursor to jump to the beginning of paragraphs and print a '3~'.
At least I still have ^d.  ^h behaves like the backspace key.
It's specific to ng, emacs doesn't do that.  Any clues?  Anyone
hack ng before?

I also added the line

/bin/dmesg > /var/run/dmesg.boot

to /etc/conf.d/local.start.  All the fiddling with the Xircom
filled the buffer.

I noticed this:

It's a Toshiba Tecra 8000, with a 266MHz PII.  I built the kernel
with Toshiba support.  I emerge'd toshiba-utils, and I can change this
after booting.  Is there any way to do it at boot?

Oh yeah,

Any idea how to mount different BSD disklabels from Linux?
I can mount /dev/hda4, which is /, but I can't get /home.
