That's what I thought....

I filled a 200MB Harddisk with the complete NetBSD-Installation,
on our Sparc-Station, running SunOS 4.1.3, and even convinced
installboot, to install a boot-sector which will hopefully make
the Sun3 happy.

When I tried to boot from it, no such luck, not even 'disklabel'
did recognize the label...

Are there differences between SPARC- and Sun3-labels, oder what is
the explanation ?

The data seems to be still on the drive, as far as I can tell using
'dd'
