	I've tried numerious times now to install NEtBSD on a 425T I have
here.  I get all the way through the installation with no problems and at
the end of of installation it tries to write the bootblock to the disk, it
says that the length of the bootblock written was 0 and then the system
reboots, of course it doesn't come back up, only sits there with a black
screen...
	I'm not totally sure of some of the drive specs (I went to the
Seagate site and found some info about the drive, but still) and is uses
Zone Bit recording as well which I trink compilcates matters (yes? No?)
	Anyways, has anybody seen this problem before?  I it's somethong I
can't easily fix I'll redo the installation again and this time post my
disk info..
