Hello All,

  i'm having problemas booting netbsd 1.6x (snapshot from August 29, 2003)
on a sunfire v120 ultrasparc 2e cpu. I have tried netbsd 1.6.1 before , but
i couldnt boot either. Only OpenBSD , disabling pciide driver , and FreeBSD 5.x
worked in these machines. I have many of them running OpenBSD and FreeBSD and
i'd like to work with NetBSD. Linux didnt boot on those machines. 
The Suns's output is below. May Someone help me install netbsd on these machines ?
I think compiling a bootdisk without the pciide support driver may solve the problem. So, 
how could i crosscompile netbsd miniroot.fs with my modifications ?

Thanks in advance,
