With the latest booter, even DHCP works :-)
BOOTPARAMS is still supported, but i like the modern BOOTP/DHCP way much
better.

R U sure, it really doesn't write the disklabel ? As i know, you can skip
this partitioning step (Ok, on my DECstation the installation stuff didn't
work for other reasons). If in doubt, just do the simple network
installation by booting a small system over the net, disklabel the disks,
mount 'em, untar everything into the mounted filesystem(s), do a
"./MAKEDEV all" in the /dev of the mounted filesystem, install bootloader
(disklabel -B ra0), do "halt&exit", push restart, boot from disk and just
hope it comes up :-)

3 ? 2 would be normal, because pine asks "reply to all...?" :-) This
means: You and port-vax. so you get it 2 times.

so long.. Michael
