Thanks for the info! I will try to remember that for next
time. For now,s ince I replaced the HD and reinstalled netbsd in
this larger drive, I have no problems logging in as root.

It seems it was a bit confused using "scsi" as the target:

Me too! However, right now I still am not able to turn on
the machine and have it boot itself. I enabled autoboot (jumper 5 =
on) and turned the machine on but it has not booted on me: my
console window (connected to its serial port) reports nothing. And,
after having the machine on for the night, I cannot ping (IP
#10.0.0.19 ) it either (I decided to do that in case it simply did
not want to write to console):
