Now the configurations aren't secret anymore :)

Press 'F5' at the main screen (undocumented) to get at it.  In the
actual CDROM, the standard splash screen and the CDROM splash screen
will switch places.

Also, an undocumented configuration: testcd.cfg - you'll have to specify
another configuration and add a conf=testcd.cfg parameter for now.  The
purpose was to boot from floppy, load packages from floppy, then load
the rest of the boot packages from CDROM - followed by whatever standard
set of packages (presumably from CDROM).

new.load had to be revamped entirely, but should be better now.  The
problem was include files; now it seems to work solidly (didn't before).

For some reason, using the current floppy and CDROM will cause a
SegFault if the packages in boot/*.lrp are loaded (!).  It happens
consistently, right after ctar apparently.  For this reason, the system
does NOT lock up after an error during package loading.

Maybe someone can test this out.  I can't imagine what it is - unless
usr.lrp had something to do with it (it had some files duplicated from
other packages in it).  The floppy usr.lrp is fixed.  Maybe my CDROM is
bad (?) but after booting with a configuration that skipped boot/* the
packages in boot/* tested fine.

I'll try some more tonight or tomorrow.

In spite of setbacks, I feel very good about the current state of
development; a release should come soon.

Now if I could just get to making a Resource CDROM...
