More interesting things in trying to get NetBSD started on my 3100. I will
try the NetBSD disklabel for Ultrix program RSN. First I'll move the this
disk over to a 5k/25 for a try.

I keep thinking that someone will say, oh, yea do this.

What I've done at this point is to take the latest miniroot dated 10 
march and boot.dd from 8 march and loaded them in a new to me way. Boot 
appears to find NetBSD at this time and loads it. Because this is from 
the 'latest' directory could be a problem with miniroot?

so:
-----------------------------------------
dd if=boot.dd of=/dev/rrz0c bs=512
dd if=miniroot of=/dev/rrz0c bs=512 skip=16 seek=16

(shutdown to monitor)

>>boot -f rz(0,0,0)netbsd
BOOT:rz(0,0,0)netbsd
Size: 784256+76304+87000
Starting at: 0x80030000


Excptn: <vtr=UTLMB>
Excptn pc: 0x8001f49c
Creg: 0x2008<CE=0,IP6,EXC=RMISS>
Sreg: 0x30000000<CU1,CU0,IPL=8>
Vaddr: 0x1338
Sp:    0x801fffc8
exit(-1)
--------------------------------------
Any thoughts?

Actually I'm having fun. I do enjoy things when there is progress. 
However I would like to be a contributor to the effort at a higher level!

Regards, Ethan
