Hello everybody:
I'm the new owner of a Dec3100, and a newcomer to Unix. I recently
attempted to upgrade the 3100 from 1.3 Beta to 1.3.2, following the
intsructions posted in the NetBSD FAQ to the letter. All seemed well
until I rebooted, and got a Bad magic response. The following is a
transcript of a boot attempt. I would not be surpized to learn that the
problem is due to a syntax error on my part, or simple Unix ignornace, but
I surely appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.
