When the machine boots NetBSD, do you see messages like:

	Beginning old-style SCSI device autoconfiguration
	rz0 at asc0 drive 0 slave 0 DEC RZ28M    (C) DEC rev 0568
	rz0: 2007MB, 3045 cyl, 16 head, 84 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 4110480 sectors
	rz1 at asc0 drive 1 slave 0 SEAGATE ST12400N SUN2.1G rev 8346
	rz1: 2048MB, 2621 cyl, 19 head, 84 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 4194685 sectors

Just before the "Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh: " prompt.  Do
you see this?

If you're using a serial console, a cut'n'paste of the boot output would
be useful.  You can also get this info by typing "dmesg > /foo" once the
machine it up, and then reading the file from your Solaris machine.
