Yep, sure I got all that, C&P for fstab.  The Pseudo File Systems are a
bit different in 3.5.2 than in the new book, but I've got them.  I
started with a defconfig, then edited out some of the stuff not needed
for an initial boot kernel, e.g. sound, added some stuff I figured might
be, e.g. USB thumb-drives,  I'll be able to verify & snoop this evening.
(TV's doing a "pledge break". ;-) )  But I just got a replacement CPU
for the box that was throwing machine checks to install too.
