Hmm, this sounds like you're loading the O2 kernels rather than the INDY
kernels, as the text start of the INDY kernels should be 0x80069000, not
0x69000.  You want the _INDY versions of whatever kernels you tried.

Old TEAL kernels are definitely *not* what you want 8-)

The netbsd-INSTALL (and the netbsd-INDY_INSTALL) kernels do contain a ramdisk
with a FS populated with install tools, along with sysinst, correct.

We have no drivers for the graphics cards, so we still use the PROM to do
input/output on the console when running on the video (vs. serial) console.
