Success!

I got NetBSD-1.4.1 loaded last night.

As it turns out, it was a problem with the Seagate 3610N drives (RZ25L).
They would not take a newfs.  I swapped Quantum RZ25L's and they worked
fine.  Anyone know if there are any particular jumper or other settings
on the Seagate RZ25Ls that would give rise to such a problem?  Maybe
there is code at the beginning of the drive that generates problems.
I will try lowlevelling them on my VAX and see if that cures the newfs
thing.  Strange, for sure.

Now to burn a minicd with the 1.4.2 stuff and see if I can get that
loaded tonight.

Thanks All....

Bob
