No, this doesn't seem to work, same error
as i described in the first message.

The miniroot-tape tries to

all resulting in
boot failed: unknown error: code 32768037

Booting with the -d switch doesn't change anything.
I've checked the MD5 sum of the miniroot.fs
(from ftp.netbsd.org) and it was o.k.


I think William Gnadt describes a similar problem
in the thread "Floppy booting NetBSD 1.4 on VS3100/30".

Was anyone successful using the miniroot.fs ?

Thanks for help, Jan.
