Hi,

I and my office mate are trying to kick some life into a Sun3/60
machine we've just dusted off.  However, I'm not having much luck
with 1.5.  I've set up netboot, and I instruct the boot loader to
load the gunzipped version of binary/kernel/netbsd.RAMDISK.gz
(full boot log attached below).  The installation documentation
is however clear in specifying that the kernel is the only file
which should be required on the root file system, so that's
basically all the sun3 stuff we have in the specified root
directory at the moment (besides the miniroot image, of course).

The kernel loads OK, but the sequence ends with:

	panic: init died (signal 0, exit 1)
	syncing disks... done

I'm beginning to wonder whether there is actually a proper useful
ramdisk image implanted in this kernel.

I booted instead the 1.4.2 binary/kernel/netbsd-RAMDISK kernel,
and it apparently gets a little further along, but it still
fails:

	enabling interrupts
	 fixed, 512 blocksboot device: le0
	device md0 (0xd00) not configured
	root device (default md0a): 
	dump device (default md0b): 
	file system (default ffs): 
	root on md0a dumps on md0b
	WARNING: clock lost 751 days -- CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!
	warning: no /dev/console

...and then it hangs.

The installation documentation is actually less than stellar
clear in indicating which kernel should be loaded to partition a
disk and to download the miniroot image.  Sometimes the kernel is
referred to as "netbsd-rd", sometimes as "RAM-disk kernel" and
sometimes as "RAMDISK kernel".  (We also had a bit of trouble
with the bootptab requirements for the "gateway" field; it's also
not particularly well documented -- we ended up UTSLing...)

A try with booting the netbsd.INSTALL kernel gets a little bit
further along, but it doesn't get there (presumably this kernel
assumes a fully populated root file system on the NFS server,
something I've not set up at the moment):

	boot device: le0
	root on le0
	nfs_boot: trying RARP (and RPC/bootparam)
	nfs_boot: client_addr=3D129.241.249.78 (RARP from 129.241.249.70)
	nfs_boot: server_addr=3D129.241.249.70
	nfs_boot: hostname=3Dgjok.runit.no
	nfs_boot: gateway=3D129.241.249.65
	nfs_boot: my_mask=3D255.255.255.240
	root on dennis.runit.no:/var/tmp
	WARNING: clock lost 1121 days -- CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!
	root file system type: nfs
	warning: no /dev/console
	init: not found
	panic: no init
	syncing disks... done

Gah!

Assistance will be highly appreciated.  If someone can provide me
with a netbsd.RAMDISK kernel which

 o is not dependent on any other files on the NFS server
 o can run disklabel and all the other tools required to load the
   miniroot into the B partition on the SCSI disk drive

it'd be much appreciated.
