Hi all

I am trying to reinstall 1.5 on a SS5 box.  There are two internal disks
(/dev/sd{0,1}) and one external disk (/dev/sd2).  My root and swap are on
/dev/sd1{a,b}.  I dd the downloaded miniroot.fs to /dev/sd1b in single user
mode, but I cant boot it to get into the installation script.  I use "boot
disk1:b netbsd -s" in prom, but it says there is no such file.  

Is this the right prom command?  Or, is there another way to start the
installation script?  Thanks.

          Regards

            Ruibiao
