Folks,

	I'm not quite sure which mailing list this should go to.  If 
I've gotten the wrong one, please let me know.

	Anyway, I bought an old Twinhead SPARC clone a few weeks ago, 
and I've been trying to get NetBSD/sparc installed on it.  It has two 
internal hard drives (4G and 2G), plus a floppy disk on a sliding 
bracket (which allows the top part of the case to be removed, with 
the bracket slid back).  So, I can't do a CD-ROM install.

	The onboard ethernet interface has only AUI, not UTP, and I 
don't have a transceiver.  So, I figured I'd check to see if the Sun 
SBuse QFE was supported, and it does appear to be on the list.


	However, from what I can tell, the QFE is not supported 
during the install process, at least not for NetBSD 1.5.2 -- it only 
seems to recognize the on-board Lance ethernet controller.  Is there 
any way I can fix this problem, perhaps by getting a modified 
kernel/boot floppy image?

	Thanks!
