lsmod)

$ venus -init
Coda Venus, version 4.6 (28)
coda_psdev_write: downcall, no SB!
Just mapped in region (20000000,4096)
Just mapped in region (21000000,4481024)

in console, there's this error:
19:58:17 fatal error -- CommInit: getservbyname failed; check /etc/services

but /etc/services seems OK...still has my old entries.  i hope it's
that simple, so i attached the services file below.

hope that helps...am i the first to make the 6.0 jump?
