 i've built a series of /boot programs between netbsd-3 and netbsd-4.
 
 	ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/mrg/sparc-boot/
 
 the dates are:
 	
 2005-02-26
         - netbsd-3
 2005-04-28
         - post promlib strings vs. persist 
 2005-06-21
         - post raid boot support
 2005-07-11
         - post dhcp
 2005-08-15
         - post prompatch (and more) fixes
 2006-01-26
         - post clean up
 2006-11-17
         - netbsd-4
 
 i'm going to guess either 2005-04-28 or 2005-06-21 are the culprits,
 but if you can test any/all of these and tell me which one first fails
 that can really narrow down the problem.
 
 thanks!
