Thanks for your post.

When next you bring up a box, would you please be so kind as to mail
``script'' output of your efforts, or something similar, to the list?
A checklist of things to do, perhaps?

PC owners have no trouble finding cookbook instructions for booting a new
box on NetBSD.  What similar instructions might a SPARCstation user follow?
Assume a pair of 1 GB SCSI drives, one with SunOS 4.1.3 installed on it
and the other intended to hold bootable NetBSD filesystems.  Also assume
an ether interface that can get at NFS servers, Internet FTP servers, etc.
With SunOS up and running, how do you get the floppy and the other SCSI
drive into condition for booting NetBSD?  I'm hoping none of the early
steps will involve running commands on a '386....
