... Couple of quick questions...

	(a) What kind of tape drive?

	(b) Did you tap the space bar a few times during the self test?

(b) this is how you get the BOOT ROM to scan the machine for boot devices.

UGH!  You seem to have a 425e.  This is ... not really good, since
the SGC bus is not yet supported by NetBSD.  Also, the 425e can't use
a serial console.

*sigh*

I guess I need to bump SGC bus support higher on my TODO list...
