First off, a big Thank You!

I think there's a typo in the URL; the correct URL appears to be

  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/sgmips/sgiboot.tgz

I'm having problems getting the machine to boot from my disk, though.
Apparently I get a wedge, the [BREAK] is from the console program I
use in a failed attempt at eliciting a response.

Attached below is output from sgivol for the disk I tried using,
console output from the failed boot attempt, and console output from
the following successful boot using sash and netboot.

The source tree is recent but at least a few days old, so the recent
cache handling code merged in today is not a part of this problem.

Any ideas?  It seems the memory blocks are different (!?).  (Please
ignore the 1993 dates; they're obviously bogus, and stem from a bogus
date fetched from the newly initialized file system, and I ignored or
overlooked (take your pick) the warning in LARGE LETTERS to adjust the
clock...)

Regards,

- Havard
