Drew,

Using a fresh copy of the 2-14 miniroot and the disklabel program as you 
suggest I get further but it still hangs...

What I have done is:

dd if=miniroot of=/dev/rz0c bs=512          This places the 2-14 miniroot
disklabel -B -R /dev/rrz0c seagate          using a file I made up 'seagate'
sync

Now, if I do a disklabel I can see the disklabel on the drive.

When I boot I get the copyright notice, it sees the correct memory (24MB) 
tells me that it is NetBSD 1.0A from 15 Feb 19:48
and  mpile/GENERIC.pmax. It sees dc0, pm0, and le0. Sii0 is found rz0 is 
found with the correct sector count and then it gives me a meaasge
"MsgOut 1" and hangs.

Is this a disk problem? Or is my DS3100 too for out of date or ???

As a side note, I went back to the 8-march miniroot and got the same 
exception crash... 


What I will do is take this seagate disk (st11200n) and place it on my 
5k/25 to see what happens there. It looks to be hanging in the scsi code.

Thanks, Ethan
