By the way, if there's a need, I can get a 3/50 up with serial console
on a routable IP w/a tftp server. I can do some testing with it, or if
anyone with more coding skills wants access to it, I'm offering it up.

Meanwhile, I'll probably have a little time to work with it this week to
see if we can get a kernel booting on it.
