I have a Sun Sparc 1+ that I attempting to put NetBSD on. I have
been able to boot NetBSD using boot sd(0,0,0)netbsd -s and every
thing looks ok as it comes up (all the devices are found and such)
until the kernel attempts to mount the root partition. I setup
the root partition in fstab as /dev/sd1a and the kernel boot message
reports mapping scsi device 0 to sd1. But the kernel reports that
it is unable to mount the root partition.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Mike Larson
