I can't quite understand why it can't find it.  I have successfully mop
booted the same machine, from a linux box.  I mounted sd0a, in /mnt/root,
untarred base.tgz and copied the netbsd kernel into the root.  The only
other thing i did was copy /usr/mdec/xxboot to /usr/mdec/sdboot, and run
"disklabel -B /dev/sd0a".  What else can I try?

Also, do you have an idea how I can get the graphic console to emulate a
terminal?  I cannot hook anything up to the serial port (non standard),
and a friend I know with the same model has his 21" screen displaying
stuff.  My present solution of telnetting into it isn't much fun.

Cheers,

Dave.
