Hi all,
I asked about this problem before with 1.4.3. I haven't been able to 
get either to boot.
I came into this knowing nothing about Sun hardware and my only 
NetBSD experience has been with the Mac port so disk labels and boot 
loaders are new to me.
I've been able to install with out a hitch (once I figured out disk 
labels) but on first boot I get:

checksum bd006d42 != 3a5a8103
trying to boot anyway
instruction access exception

Last time I asked about this problem some one told be to look into 
binstall and installboot. When I run binstall in verbose mode I don't 
see any errors and as far as I can tell everything should work now 
but still no dice.

I'm going nuts here. Any help, advice, and/or strong medication :-> 
would be wonderful.

Thank you all,
Lloyd

PS- SunOS did work so I believe the hardware is good.
