Date: 10 Dec 1995 17:33:25 GMT Organization: Infocom, Inc. Lines: 12 Message-ID: <4af5l5$dvm@mips.infocom.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: tye.infocom.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I recently attempted to run NetBSD install for Sun3 on a 3/60. I started out the simple way and made the boot tape via the supplied script. When I tried to boot with this tape it started out like I thought it would, but then spits "exec: short read". Maybe I should be asking people who know about tape messages, but I thought I would start here to determine if it was software related. I have tried 2 different tape drives and 3 tapes. Has anyone experienced this and know what I might be doing wrong? This is NetBSD-1.1/ sun3 - a 1st time install. Thanks much, -Josh josh@infocom.com
