A kernel taken from the FLAMINGO directory should boot on any flamingo, right?

I have a gold system (X3.0-8  (Rev. 212)) and I am working in a sandbox 
backed by goldos.2wk.  The vmunix from the FLAMINGO directory will not boot.

The error is:  ?02 KSP INVAL

This is a known problem with goldos.2wk.   You'll need to pick up a kernel
out of nightly...

The problem is worked around in goldos.nightly in 
./src/kernel/arch/alpha/pmap_init.c.  You can pick it up from goldos, copy it to 
your sandbox, build it and relink you kernel with:

	After copying to pmap_init.c to your sandbox...

	% cd ./src/kernel
	% build BINARY_  MAKE_ARGS="pmap_init.o"
	% build FLAMINGO_relink

The FLAMINGO kernel from your sandbox should then boot.  We've noticed this 
problem on Sandpiper and Jensen as well.
