Installed all of the sets except etc.tgz and xetc.tgz, then loaded the 
CF and booted. Booted fine, but I can't log in from the console. In 
fact, I don't seem to have any keyboard at all. Booting once without 
the network card, I was unable to type ^C to make the kernel stop 
trying to set an nfs swap.

I was able to boot into single-user mode and run postinstall, and now 
I can log in via ssh over the network with the current kernel.

Just for kicks I tried using the 3beta kernel, which worked with my 
old userland, but I get an error:
panix: init died (signal 0, exit 1)
kloader: kernel file name: /netbsd
kloader: namei failed (/netbsd)
syncing disks... done

Then it locks up hard, so it seems that the 3-stable kernel doesn't 
work with the current userland.

Could someone who is running current download the Aug24 kernel binary 
and see if it works for them, so I will know if it is worth it for me 
to keep trying to get this working?

It probably doesn't matter, but here are some errors I got after 
running postinstall. I also noted that I seem to be using a lot more 
space in / than before, even after postinstall cleaned things up.
