Hello,
As I continue to try to get NetBSD installed on my SS1, i am running in to
another problem. using my operating sparc I created a disklabel, and dd
the miniroot-132 over to /dev/sd1b. change the jumpers on the drive,
and put the drive in the second sparc, boot using boot sd(0,0,1)netbsd -s

and it boots, I select 'sun' for terminal type, select install, select Y
to continue with installition, select 'america' for timezone country, and
do a '?' at the city timezone prompt. every time it will display 3 screens
of hex numbers, or dispaly <sigment fault> until i hit <L1><a> to stop it
and get back to the openboot prompt.

Why can't I get past the timezone? I have tried Netbsd version 1.2.1,
1.3.1 and 1.3.2, all with the same result.

Any ideas?

 -Mike
