I dutifully installed the 3.51a fix disk (sic) and it proceeded to break getty.
In particular, getty was not able to attach to port 1 (on the combo board).
(I have a terminal connected to that port.)  When I went back to the unfixed
kernel/uucico things went back to normal.

I have two questions:

Could this be related to the "bad PROM on the combo board" bug that was
discussed a while back?

(Unrelated question)  Do any of the fixes repair the bug in which fsck keeps
getting free list errors, thus causing every reboot to be a double reboot?
If so, which one, and does it break anything?
