here is a very short summary: no, I did not botch up the kernel, but I had
a superconducting short between the keyboard and the seat. there are too many
SysVR4 hosts around here, and it had been a very long time since I had
used a BSD like host. Yes, I wanted the user mn's processes. Since I knew the
kernel was there and the permits were right, I had to ask.
the mail: I will forward it. Yes, it is not right. Thanks for the hints, I
never look at my headers.
Here is one of the replies that did not recommend to boot immediately or
not to boot at all (which I think is right, booting would end up in the
debugger if there were no kernel at the usual place).
