  How did this fail?  I am just now trying to boot netbsd on our ES45 that 
was just removed from production, and it's failing when the boot loader is 
loading the kernel.  I think I saw the same failure on an ES47 a few weeks 
ago before we sold them.  I've tried 4.0 from a copy of a disk that boots 
fine on my CS20, and I've tried a -current CDROM.  I haven't figured out 
how to proceed from here, but I'll probably try adding some debugging 
output to the boot loader.
