heh heh. been there, done that :-) once i was *massively* confused --
i logged in and it took me a full 2 minutes to figure out why it
wasn't letting me "cd /sys/arch/sparc" ... the netbsd disk on the
machine hadn't answered the probe so it had used the sunos disk as
it's root, which doesn't have a correct "/sys" symbolic link.

pity though: at the moment a sunos emacs binary isn't working and
to figure out why (it used to work).

your guess is correct, whoops, hadn't supped yet test that.
