I'm a couple of days late because I only catch up on this list every
now and then - you would probably have gotten a quicker answer on the
port-pmax list.  If you're using a pmax, you should really be on this
list.

It looks like you're booting of rz3, so something like this at the
firmware prompt (the '>>' prompt when the machine is shutdown) should
work:

	>> setenv boot '3/rz3/netbsd -a'

The '-a' means "autoboot", and it needs to be inside the quotes.  The
default is to boot into single-user - I suspect the bootblocks are
passing the '-s' to init.
