Hrmf. So I decided I couldn't wait, being as infernally impatient as any
of us. I played with fbconfig a bit. Nothing happened, I was happy.

So I decided to open sunpci. And I got:

Watchdog Reset
Externally Initiated Reset


What does that mean? I had it open before, right after I installed it,
and it was fine. 

Two related things; First, how do I upgrade the bios on the SunPCi card?
When I run it, I get a message that the hardware bios version is lower
than the software bios ver. is there some sort of flash utility for
updating the SunPCi bios?

Thing the second: I successfully upgraded it to an AMD-K6 2/400MHz. The
card recognized it and dealt well. Also stuch 256M of RAM onboard. It's
PC-133, is that bad? I know it runs at slower speed on a slower bus, but
it's only potentially bad in a pc-66 machine, right? Or just won't work,
for whatever reason? Josh?

Hrm. T'won't do at all to have a machine that stays up as long as I
don't touch it. What's a Watchdog Reset? How do I fix whatever caused
it?

And how do I get rid of the damned Trap 3e?
