	Note: this includes sysinst based floppy and netboot kernel images
		installation/bootfs/syboot.fs.gz
	and
		installation/netboot/netbsd.ram.gz

	These images only work on sun4c and sun4m machines - if there
	is a sun4 owner out there willing to test a netboot based
	sysinst install, please let me know!

	The syboot.fs.gz in this image has been used to install a
	complete system with this build, but it would be _very_ much
	appreciated if people could test it out, and in particular feed
	back comments on the install notes. The one issue to date is
	the screen redraws far too many times in sysinst.

	Many thanks to Paul Kranenburg and Havard Eidnes for pointing
	out the fixed boot program which should make these images
	bootable on machine with 4MB in the first ram bank.
