Dunno what to say.  The md5's check out identical, so the download
was good.

When I get home tonight I will try it on some other sparc boxes and
see what happens.

What was the dd incantation you used to write the image?  I just
used dd if=disk2 of=/dev/rfd0c conv=sync, in OpenBSD (I don't have
a sparc up with NetBSD, yet).  I see in the install.txt it has a
bs=36k listed.  Would that cause the problem?  Why?  I just rewrote
it with a 36K bs and will try that in a bit.

Thanks

Bob
