Yes, I was able to boot my 4/110 from an old Sun3 shoebox (ESDI
disk connect to an Emulex bridgeboard). This was with NetBSD/sparc 1.1.
After seeing how bad the disk performance was, I decided SunOS was a
better solution for the time being.
(I am not laying any blame on NetBSD for being a poor performer.
I'd attribute that to the sw0 controller on the 4/110).
Mike.
