This system has 2 SCSI buses.

boot scsi-int/sd@1:0 resulted in a 'can't OPEN'
boot scsi/sd@1:0 resulted in RESETing scsi bus

so I changed where it was plugged into

now boot scsi-int/sd@1:0 works :)

thanks for the help :)

Next question is then how do I set up OF to autoboot netBSD?  I think  
(looking at the install doc) I should do:

0 > setenv auto-boot? true
0 > setenv boot-device scsi-int/sd@1:0
0 > setenv boot-file netbsd
0 > reset-all

is that correct?

Thanks again
