Is anyone using a xd disk as root filesystem?
I have installed NetBSD from SunOS (filesys rewfs:ed under SunOS4)
and uses SunOS xdboot and /boot. But when the NetBSD kernel tries
to mount the root filesystem it panics with "illegal head address 622/66/11".
The disk is actually 622 cyl's, 67 sectors and 27 heads (Xylogics 2344).
I have another NetBSD/sparc up so that I can recompile kernels.

Anyone has a clue?
