FWIW, i'm convinced of the same thing...  Ken had me puzzling over
this one, too.  8-)

We tried:
	the 1.1 boot blocks and miniroot,
	boot blocks and miniroot from gregorio.stanford.edu.

We also tried using 'init' before doing 'boot', to clear out any
console lossage caused by previous failed boots.

Is anybody successfully using NetBSD/pmax on a 3min?


A random comment about the process, since i'm writing this mail:

it'd be sort of nice if the miniroot image was filled with zeros
before being newfs.  some 'random data' from a disk block in the first
(always-empty) 8k of the file system ... can look confusing.
