Yesterday I booted the Digital Unix 4.0E OS CD and got these boot
messages:

...

itpsa0 at pci0 slot 7 
Checksum read error. 
 *** Attempt to run on unsupported adapter ***

Then it went on to Just Work - booting continued, I newfs'ed, mounted,
and used the disk.

What can I do to install NetBSD 1.4 on it?
