I'm trying to install NetBSD-1.4ALPHA on a SPARCstation 1.  I can't get the 
miniroot onto a QIC150 tape in a manner that allows the SS1 to boot.  Will 
a generic PC floppy drive work in a SPARCstation 1?  If so, is there any 
documentation on how to boot from floppy?  Thanks.  I've always had a 
functioning hard disk with SunOS or NetBSD for previous installs but no 
such luck in this case.
