Hi, all

I created the two boot floppies using the disk images from the NetBSD ftp
site.  (fdformat and dd on an i386 box).  When I tried booting using the first
disk, I got the following message:

<#0> ok boot floppy
Boot device: /obio/SUNW, fdtwo	file and args:
bootxx: short read
Program terminated
<#0> ok

Looking into the source tree (bootxx.c).  This happens in the loadboot()
function.  

What causes this to fail?  How can I fix it?  Thanks.
