NetBSD/sparc will boot from floppy, but only a stripped-down kernel will 
fit ... we'd probably have to make sun4c and sun4m specific floppies.

Also, some sun4ms (notably my SS10) can't boot off the floppy without a 
patch to the bootblocks I sent to pk a while ago ... it's possible he 
overlooked it, so I'll send it to him again :-)
