I was advised that when I got this 6400 for free that I paid too much for
it.  After burning plenty of cd-r's and plenty of time I'm no further than I
was before I received the box.

Does anyone have any magic blessings for getting this thing going (booting
the cdrom) or such?

Details:

6400/180, 24M RAM, 1G ata disk, standard (8x?) scsi cdrom

 dev scsi/sd@3:0 words  => says 'open'

Whenever I try: boot scsi/sd@3:0,OFWBOOT.XCF NETBSD.RAM (caps or lowercase)
I simply get "RESETing SCSI bus" and it just hangs.

Any other details that might be handy?
