It seems the miniroot.fs image for NetBSD/sparc64 1.6 is corrupt.  I
have been able to successfully netboot a SunFire V100, but am unable to
get it to even begin to load the miniroot image, as I noted in a post
the other day.

Note that it seems impossible to pass the filename properly to ofwboot,
at least when using BOOTPARAMS.  I had to put the kernel in the NFS
server's directory as "netbsd".  Attempts to boot with any different
filename simply resulted in a "Boot:" prompt and when I failed to type
the correct filename and then hit return it tried to boot what I typed
and then fell back to trying to boot the alternate kernel names starting
with "netbsd.gz" IIRC.  During this process the ofwboot program seemed
impervious to BREAK signals (i.e. LOM "break" commands).

I also don't know why it asks me for the root device.

(Also, where's the revision number from ofwboot?  Why can't it print a
CRLF before it prints its banner too?)

I don't think there's anything on wd1 at the moment (SunOS-5.9 is only
on wd0 IIRC), so I may try installing and see how it goes.

Anyway here's a cut&paste of the boot:

that rtc business can't be right though -- the machine was just running
SunOS-5.9 and it had the correct time....  Indeed its time is wonky:

Also, why does it day "dumps on tlp0h"?  I typed "tlp0<CR>".
