Today I tried to install the above root on my HP7937 hp-ib disk. Then I
tried to boot from that disk from both a 370 with high speed hpib and
a 340 with standard hpib. In both cases it found the NetBSD bootstrap
and I got the NetBSD kernel select prompter, but after a return (or time out)
it said 'Unknown error: code 22'. That was as far as I could get.
What could be the problem?

Is it possible to put your own disklabel on the disk yet?
