>Release:        4.0 RC1
>Organization:
University of Basel
>Environment:
NetBSD 4.0 RC1 ISO image; SparcStation 2 (sun4c)
>Description:
The second-stage "boot" loader fails complaining about
a data access failure.

Netbooting (boot.net) works fine.

Substituting the second-stage loader from the NetBSD 3.1
distribution solves the problem, too. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to boot a SparcStation 2 from the NetBSD 4.0 RC1 ISO image or
copy the miniroot to the swap area and boot it.

>Fix:
Substitute the second-stage boot loader from the NetBSD 3.1 distribution.
