i've gotten netbsd installed on an old sparcstation20 but when i reboot the
thing, it wont boot up

when i follow the instructions here

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/Net...otable%20CD-ROM<ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/=
pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-3.0/sparc/INSTALL.html#Installing%20NetBSD%20by%20using%2=
0a%20bootable%20CD-ROM>

using [OPENPROM2]
ok boot net netbsd

it just says when it starts up

/iommu/sbus/espdwa@f,400000 /esp@f,800000/sd@3,0:0 File and args: netsbd
bad filename
Enter filename[netbsd]:

when i put /dev/sd0a

it says

Error reading ELF header
boot failed

then it keeps prompting
Enter filename

what should i put in the path there? tia for any ideas!

anyone have any idea what is wrong? i can access the PROM terminal, i got a
OPENPROM2.
