Dear Frank,

Hello!

Hmm...
I want you to try this kernel.(ECOFF)

https://github.com/nullnilaki/NetBSD_irisboot/blob/master/IndigoR3K/re_netbsd.ecoff

I wrote read NVRAM routine.
If this kernel work well, I understand bootloader installed HDD.
(I understand "bootfile" Environment value)
I think that bootfile/netbsd is default path to the kernel in irisboot.
As follows;

>> printenv
netaddr=192.168.1.33
dbaud=9600
rbaud=1200
bootfile=dksc(0,1,8)sash
bootmode=c
console=g
diskless=0
keybd=d
volume=128
path=dksc(0,1,8)
cpufreq=33
gfx=dead (No keyboard)
