Mine is an SS1.

The straight 1.5 floppies from ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-1.5/sparc/....

The original error was:

  tar: Invalid header, starting valid header search
  gzip: failed gzclose: Undefinded error: 0

I reloaded the floppies and reinstalled, and now it is panicing.
Back to OpenBSD and it is loading fine.  My machine just does not
like NetBSD.  My IPX did the same thing, and it now runs OpenBSD.
Oh, well....

Thanks
