Not a autoboot parameter, but mkboot takes an `-x' argument that
prints tons of debug info...

	# cd /boot
	# mkboot -x -k KERNEL

Subject: TCP/SLIP

Unfortunately, the TCP/IP package that AT&T sells for the 3b2 does not support
SLIP (at least in the incarnations I have seen).  There are a few other ways
to get SLIP up and running on the 3b though.  First, there are other venders
that have TCP/IP on the 3b2.  The one that I have had the most experience with
is Lachman Associates.  Their TCP/IP for the 3b2 does support SLIP.  Unfortu-
nately, they only sell their code to OEMs, and then as a source development
package.  The number to reach Lachman is 1-800-LAI-UNIX.

Another route to go is to take the KA9Q software (recently re-written to support
multi-user OS's much better) and use it.  Basically, there is a daemon that han-
dles the SLIP line, and each application (FTP, TELNET, etc.) has been migrated
into a seperate process.  (The older versions had all programs rolled into one
BIG program.)  This new version is still being worked on, but a PRE-ALPHA ver-
sion is avail.  Please contact me by e-mail for more info on this.
