I'm having trouble booting a Sun 4/300 with NetBSD 1.3.  NetBSD 1.2.1
boots the machine just fine (at least no error messages), but 1.3 gives
the following output:

I've also tried OpenBSD 2.1 and 2.2 on this machine (2.1 works, 2.2 gives
similiar messages).  I've check the drive's termination, and I'm at a loss
now.  Any pointers?
