HI,

I downloaded miniroot.fs from both NetBSD-daily/HEAD and netbsd-4
and, in both cases, when dd'ed onto my swap partition wouldn't
load the kernel.

If I mount the swap partition it looks ok, ie, I see sysinst, netbsd,
etc, but no booting.

ok boot disk:b netbsd -s
Resetting ... 

screen not found.
Can't open input device.
Keyboard not present.  Using tty for input and output.

SPARCstation 20 (1 X SuperSPARC-II), No Keyboard
ROM Rev. 2.25R hyperSPARC, 288 MB memory installed, Serial #7809652.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:77:2a:74, Host ID: 72772a74.



Rebooting with command: disk:b netbsd -s                              
Boot device: /iommu/sbus/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000/sd@3,0:b  File and args: netbsd -s
Type  help  for more information
ok 

ok boot disk:b -s
Boot device: /iommu/sbus/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000/sd@3,0:b  File and args: -s
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.

cheers

bruce
