netbsd-help@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu... we're really too busy
to be scanning news for bug reports...

i didn't know this when i wrote the install notes, but it *really*

do you have the latest version of the boot blocks from the install1
disk? read the various readmes in the directory with the
installation disks; that should help...
