I just borrowed a 9122 floppy drive. Just thought y'all should know that
you can indeed boot NetBSD off floppy disk!
You'll need to write the floppy under HP-UX, of course, but once it's
written, it'll load the NetBSD bootloader and you can then netboot.
mediainit -v -i 2 -f 3 /dev/rdsk/c7d0s0
dd if=SYS_UBOOT of=/dev/dsk/c7d0s0 bs=1k
If anyone's desperate, I can make a few floppies while I still have the
9122.
Hope this helps someone,
