I tried netbooting and had problems with it as described in my other 
message. I got netbooting to work with Debian and OpenBSD but NetBSD is 
having trouble with my Sparc 10 accessing the root filesystem over NFS. 
Is it possible to append the root ramdisk to the kernel image? Because 
that seems to be what works with the other two OSes.

I am wondering why booting with the miniroot filesystem from a Debian 
swap partition isn't working. Is there some incompatibility between how 
Linux and BSD write the disklabel?
