Now that I've got a scsi disk for it, and have copied all the necessary files over to it, I am having a problem booting the OS from it. I have the boot program from SunOS 4.1.1, and have been using it to boot over the network for quite some time. Is this the boot program I need to use for the NetBSD bootstrap from the SCSI disk? When the rom monitor tries to load the bootstrap the disk light flashes for about a tenth of a second, then it hangs. I was trying to use the disklabel -B command, but the disklabel binary that was included in the Sun3 NetBSD package doesn't seem to support it, even though the man page lists -B (bootstrap specification) as a valid option. Help! -brapp@brapp.com
