            I'm using Mac OS X 10.2.8's Terminal.app, which claims to be
    vt100, through minicom. The bad display is probably Terminal.app's
    fault -- I'll try through an (Apple) xterm next -- but I was very
    surprised that arrow keys wouldn't work in ANSI mode.

            FWIW, I mentioned that primarily as an indication that I
    might not have hit BootMgr, since I couldn't see what I was doing
    well. The more serious problems are package conflicts and nonworking
    boot code...

                                                    Thanks,
