Hmm...that conficts with:
   
   http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/bootcd.html#sparcimage
   
   "NetBSD/sparc64 (top)
   
        Currently there is no support for booting NetBSD/sparc64 from CD. It
   is on the sparc64 TODO list however and the hardware certainly will
   support this. "
   
   
   Unless you're seriously hard-core, It's probably not worth burnning to a
   CD anyway, at least not until there's a bit more hardware support and
   maybe sysinst ;-)


actually, this should be quite easy to do now that eeh has made it possible
to boot a kernel of any text/data size.  the original problem was that we
couldn't build `ramdisk' style kernels (the ones with an embedded installer),
combined with the fact that the NetBSD cd driver doesn't listen to sun 
disklabels basically meant that while one could built a bootable cdrom quite
easily, one was not able to _access_ the data afterward.  but now that we
can build a ramdisk kernel, this should be just easy.


i'll look into finishing this support off in the next couple of weeks.
