No go.  Booting image via CD with mksunbootcd (what I'm _really_ trying to
get working):

ok boot cdrom
Boot device: /sbus/esp@0,800000/sd@6,0:c   File and args:
Data Access Exception

Booting image via floppy:

ok boot floppy
Boot device: /fd   File and args:
Data Access Exception

This is syboot.fs from 1.5_ALPHA2 (I don't know what syramdisk is, although
it can't figure out how to boot that at all--"not...executable", and boot.fs
is 2MB, looks like a miniroot?)....
