I had hoped to be able to set up a serial port console in addition to
the standard console by default; however, it appears that if no port (no
/dev/ttyS0) is present, then things start breaking. I think I'll just
go ahead and remove these things...

Well.... it should work fine without it - always has for me. Perhaps I
should just include it - that's the help file.

You can call it as e3em to get it every time; otherwise, set E3EMU to
"emacs" should do it too.

No! Definitely not. The purpose for /var/boot/modules is to permit the
loading of packages over the network after loading root.lrp. Among
other things, this means that you can use a kernel that has *NO SUPPORT*
for the boot medium (like floppy or hard disk) but still get all your
packages from the network.

If you're not using network loading, you could get away with using
/lib/modules, but by this new convention it seems a good idea to put
network modules in /var/boot/modules - though its only for network
loading.
