I've stuffed a kernel onto the box by brute force (i.e. stuck the 5.0-release 
CD in and installed 'base').  It boots, though I'll have to rebuild my passwd 
file and various other things that were overwritten.  (At the risk of 
restarting this old flamewar -- GEE it'd be nice if we broke up them 
distributions into packages. :-)

I'm rebuilding now with DDB (which I could've SWORN I had in there -- doh!) 
and will post the results.  With my luck, this is a heisenbug that disappears 
once the tools are in place to observe it. *grin*
