This is probably a FAQ, and I'm probably doing something wrong.  I'm
hoping someone else can point out what it might be...

I have an 8500 with G3 accel. that I'm trying to get NetBSD running on.
It, of course, has OpenFirmware 1.0.5.

To start the story...  I was having trouble with -1.5_BETA and -current
boot floppies--they both register either read failures or "FD: can not
LOAD from this device" (or something very much like that).  I was finally
able to get a floppy that booted by going back to 1.4.2.

Now, I want to install 1.5_BETA, so I used the 1.4.2 installer to
disklabel sd1 (scsi-int/sd@1).  I then mounted the filesystems,
configured mc0, downloaded the sets, and untarred them.  However, I
can not get the system to boot from this disk.  I have a hard disk
and a CD-ROM on each of the scsi busses.  The disk I want to boot
off of is ID 1 on the internal bus.  It probes in NetBSD as sd1.

So, booted from the floppy, I have tried both:

	cp /usr/mdec/ofwboot /mnt/boot
	/usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /usr/mdec/bootxx /dev/rsd1a

and

	cp /mnt/usr/mdec/ofwboot /mnt/boot
	/mnt/usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /mnt/usr/mdec/bootxx /dev/rsd1a

In both cases, I get failures.  Something like:

	0 > boot RESETing SCSI bus
	RESETing SCSI bus
	DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00700 
	 ok

I event grabbed -current's for comparison.  The only difference is in
the code that's returned.  I have seen: FFF00300, FFF00400, and FFF00700.

Anyone have any ideas?
