Ohhh, I would love to try it if it can be made to boot from tape.
I tried the 1.3.2 and it died in the miniroot on my machine
(3/80-16Mram-2xsun207hd).  I tried loading it from sun3x boot
tapes and from miniroot dding to swap from sunos tapes, and it
died when entering the miniroot kernel.  What should the physical
drive ID's be for the first and second scsi drives on the 3/80?
Mine are 0 and 1, and for some reason it did not like bringing up
drive 0.  Could it be a label thing or an ID thing?... or something
else I should look for?

Thanks
