OK I will try that.... assuming I can get the beast up.

OK.

I was playing around with it some, last night, and had a problem 
getting it to boot into the ramdisk kernel.  The boot came up OK,
but after transferring to the ramdisk kernel, it came back with
an error trying to read sd0, and locked up into the shell, which
would not do anything but keep trying to exit shell, and then it
froze.

Sunos installed fine, so it probably is not hardware related.
I am re-downloading the bits again, and will re-roll a tape set
tonight, just in case my boot tapes had problems.

I was thinking it might be related to hard drive ID, since I am
using id0 for the boot drive and id1 for the second drive, but
it seemed to find the drives OK, and came back with an error if
I tried drive id 3 (in case it was related to a drive 3 vs drive 0
ID kind of thing).

Anyone had any problems lately in booting and installing the
NetBSD-1.3.2 sun3x port from a tape drive?

I have not tried netbooting it, yet.

Any insights are appreciated.

Thanks
