OK, I'll admit that I'm not good at elementary math sometimes... my 
advanced calculus and diff. eq. pushed it all out of my brain.  :-)

But after successfully booting my SPARC LX off a floppy, installing 
from the CD (NetBSD 1.4.1 - it was all I had handy) and configuring 
the system, I cannot for the life of me get the sucker to boot off 
the HD.

My HD is at SCSI 0 (yes, I know the Sun boot PROM sees it 
differently) and I can exit the NetBSD installer and mount /dev/sd0a 
at /mnt.  It shows the root partition when my kernel "netbsd" 
resides.  I quit to the Sun monitor and type:

ok setenv boot-file netbsd
ok setenv boot-device /sbus/esp/sd@0,0
ok boot

as suggested in the install file, and I get

SCSI device 0,0 is not responding
Can't open boot device

I changed boot-device to /sbus/esp/sd@3,0 just to be sure I didn't 
misunderstand the instructions, but it doesn't work either.  In fact, 
I tried all 6 devices without luck.  Grr.  What stupid simple mistake 
am I making? (grovel, grovel)
