>Description:
	(net)booting a 4/110 fails with NetBSD/sparc -current. The bootblock
	is downloaded successfully, but then, after booting it's banner
	and "Booting netbsd", it fails with "vma_mapin", which I presume
	is "dvma_mapin", but has the 'd' overwritten by the PROM '>'.

	Older releases did boot succesfully, I'd have to check what the
	last one was that did boot, I haven't booted the machine in
	a while.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to netboot a 4/110 with -current.
>Fix:
	Unknown to me.
