Below is the boot messages of the miniroot from 
releng.netbsd.org:pub/NetBSD-daily/200207080000/sun3/

It appears that init is missing from the miniroot.fs.
Has anyone encounter this error before?
Is there another explaination besides the miniroot.fs is 
corrupt and missing init?

I have three of the old beasts I am attempting resurect 
from the ashes.
