>Release:        1.5.1_BETA
>Organization:
Quickstart Technology Ltd
>Environment:
SparcStation5 with 64MB Ram and 2 * 2GB SCSI HD, CD Install
>Description:
Install completes OK, but is not bootable. Not certain but I suspect
this is because the partition is makefs'd with a NetBSD FFS and not
a UFS, and the boot rom can't hack it. Might be that I guessed
the kernel name wrong (or its not what is in the install document).


A Solaris 8 install worked fine (But it ain't BSD ;-)

>How-To-Repeat:
Erase all HDs, Perform CD Install. (May require special security
program to erase the HDs adequately - or LL SCSI format).
>Fix:
I read a document about an earlier release that said that the makefs
needed some special flag, but I saw no opportunity to enter any flags 
anywhere.
