>Description:
my prom boot device for NetBSD is 'disk1'. when issuing a reboot(8),
the boot device is not passed to the prom, meaning the box reboots
from the default boot device (the wrong one).

I don't know if this is also true for the sparc port.
>How-To-Repeat:
boot from a device other than the default boot device. reboot(8) and
watch the box boot from the default device.
>Fix:
pass the boot device to the prom when issuing a reboot.
