To add to the confusion, I can mention that on my G3 DT 233MHz, I more often that not
have to issue the boot command twice. First time it answers

 ok

Next time it succeeds.... I have boot-device=scsi/sd@2:0 and boot-file=netbsd and
issues the boot command without parameters.

If anyone can explain that (or even give the cure) I'd be somewhat happier :-)
