Hi,

I got NetBSD/i386 1.1_ALPHA Oct 18 1995 to boot diskless yesterday.

I thought I would mention that the floppy disk light would not go out
(I assume the floppy was still spinning.)  Futher investigation
revealed that the floppy device driver was not in the DISKLESS kernel
config file and that the probe() or whatever occurs in early startup
is what stops the light, so I added the fdc0 and fd* lines and
everything was fine.
