Yeah, me too. I have a fuzzy memory that it crashed once with a memory
error, but I have no record of that. If true, I wonder if the memory
is going....

Oh. :-) (This is a problem only when using multiple targets on a
single SCSI chain, right? So if I use a SPARC to move stuff to the
other disk, then use only that, I will at least avoid the esp bugs...?)
By the way, in case anyone cares, NetBSD/sparc 1.2 installboot works to
install sun3x bootblocks, or at least it worked for me - just make sure
you give it the sun3x bootxx, not the sparc bootxx :-)
