I added -noconsole, so that (b)SKI will load the simulator in the controling
terminal.  I also tried the normal way "xski skiload", but when the X-Window
comes up, I still cant type anything, i.e. I cant type.  This problem also
happened to me when dfr sent an ia64 snapshot for trial.  Probably is some
step I am missing, right?

Yup.  It gives us the flexibility of adding entities in a section where
all data is !SGML. :-)

Understood.  I saw an ia64/ directory under platforms, so I will get
cracking with more information.
