Folks,
        I finally got a CF sleeve for my ipaq 3150 so I could try out
NetBSD.  I fetched down the snapshot from the netbsd.org web site and
unpacked the hpcboot.exe, whacked both on my microdrive.  After a bit
of fiddling I managed to get netbsd booting but it stops at the prompt
for the root device.  What happens next?  Below is a log of my boot...

BTW I was a bit surprised with how much was lost going back to WinCE
after I had booted NetBSD, I was not concerned because I had backed up
the device but I am thinking a more dire warning in the instructions
about backing up the data would be good.
