I've been working on that for about 3 hours now, and like you I am getting 
farther, but not far enough to count.  I've had to steal the makefiles from 
other defs dirs (and update the level's) to update for the renamed defs.d 
stuffs, but I'm about burned out for the night.  I am still seeing errors 
with fingers pointed at both reboot, and freboot, right near the top of the 
build.sh output.  And I recall building the original reboot util out of the 
Rainbow 20 years ago, and the reboot.asm I am see now bears virtually no 
resemblance to that one, somebody has been plugging in all sorts of bells & 
whistles.

Anyway, I need to go tend to my shop building, and the washer/dryer for 2 
or 3 more cycles, or join a nudist colony...

Cheers, Gene
