Jeff,

I just grabbed the 2 floppy images and they boot just fine on my Miata.
That is, as long as I use the graphics console. I want to use the
serial console (pulled the keyboard & mouse, SRM falls back to serial)
to capture the boot messages for comparison. But alas:

>>>boot dva0
(boot dva0.0.0.0.1 -flags A)
block 0 of dva0.0.0.0.1 is a valid boot block
reading 15 blocks from dva0.0.0.0.1
bootstrap code read in
base = 1f0000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 1e00
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 1e2000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU
jumping to bootstrap code
<nothing, absolutely nothing is printed anymore>

Floppy led stays on forever

I assume this should work for a NetBSD install flop too?
