I am attempting to netboot my Sun 4/110 with NetBSD 1.2, but am getting
the following error message:

...

rebooting                     

What does "error 13" mean?  (sorry, I don't yet have the sources to look
this one up myself)  The binary '/sbin/init' is there and the root
filesystem (from base.tar.gz and etc.tar.gz) exists on /usr/export/sparc
as it should.

I've netbooted NetBSD on this machine many times in the past and have
never seen this error message before.  (This is a fresh install, BTW, so
this particular install hasn't worked before).

Thanks.

Mike.
