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.
