My trusty pre-production (serial number MLO4600026) 4000/60 has just died 
the death of things that die that way. Coincidentally (or perhaps not), it 
was in the middle of booting NetBSD from hard disk for the first time. I 
had just installed from CD, booted from hard disk, and gotten to just after 
the file system checks when it told me there was a parity error on the SCSI 
bus. Since then, the SCSI bus has been unusable; if there is anything 
plugged into the bus, the power-on self-test fails. The machine has served
me faithfully since before the model was announced, so I'm loathe to chalk
it up to coincidence. I don't suppose anyone has successfully run NetBSD on
a 4000/60 of this vintage? 

I took the hard disk over to my 4000/96, and it booted successfully. 
HOwever, the machine now reports the "?? 000   8      SYS   0512" error 
reported by 4000/90 users. No, I was not prepared to snap the ROM on this 
system before booting NetBSD, so I cannot now look to see if it's changed.
