As we are getting some alphas soon, I was curious--what is the status
of the alpha port?  Since NetBSD only seems to support the SRM console,
we will not be able to use it, and will be stuck with linux for now.

Is there any rough time frame for a sortof working version?  Ideally,
we would like our cluster to be running FreeBSD at Supercomputing 97. :)
