HP9000/340 with HP7959B HPIB drive
>Description:
Using the a.out bootfiles (SYS_UBOOT, SYS_INST) from NetBSD-1.5, I can
access the HP7959B drive and install a miniroot. The elf bootfiles in
the 20010106 snapshot display errors when accessing the drive.
Whereas the a.out bootfiles displayed le0a as the default boot device,
the elf bootfiles display sd133 (or something similar) as the default
boot device. The machine doesn't have SCSI.
Sorry to be vague, but I can provide details on request.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to install the 20010106 snapshot on an HP9000/340 with an
HP7959B drive.

N/A
