I sucsessfuly setup the 712/60 as a netboot device (sparcstation LX
running NetBSD/sparc 1.5* as server).

1) rnd(4) is absent in the GENERIC kernel, therefore ssh-keygen fails, as
well as sshd.

2) Console support is bad, obviously.  vt100 emulation doesn't work.
telnetd works, though.

3) /dev/MAKEDEV doesn't have a good for /dev/ttya or /dev/tty00 (serial
port, 'com0' in dmesg).

4) 'path console rs232_a.9600.8.none' is not valid syntax in the PROM
(admin_boot) on this model.  Need VGA console (sync on green required --
i.e., trinitron)

5)  My host's final bootptab line was:

addiction:ha=0800095A111E:ip=216.151.104.75:sm=255.255.255.248:bf=SYSNBSD:sa=216.151.104.78:rp=/usr/src/pkgsrc/netbsd/root

ha=MAC/Ethernet Address
ip=IP of machine from /etc/hosts
sm=Subnet Mask for my /29 network on my DSL router
bf=Name of kernel/boot loader to TFP (located in /tftpboot)
sa=IP of Server to TFTP kernel from -- also host for NFS root
rp=Path on SA's local file system, as well as path of NFS root export.

6) I was able to disklabel(8) the internal SCSI disk, but not newfs it
(kernel panic)

7) Lots and lots of ethernet resets .  I'm not sure if the UTP or AUI port
is active.  I have a AUI->UTP tranciever on the AUI port.  Both are
connected to my hub w/ active link lights.

8) Going to try to checkout and update latest sources using CVS now.  Want
to recompile the kernel at least.

...things are looking great,
