I moved things from machine to machine so much that it is possible that
something may have gone screwy.  I used one of my 7958B drives since there
was a disklabel file already for that.  I then, under HP-UX 7.0, ran the
command:
./makedisk /dev/rdsk/2s0 label boot rootimage.gz

All of these were downloaded from ftp.netbsd.org in the NetBSD-1.0
directory for hp300.  I do not really know what problems I am having, but I
have been trying the 1.[012] version run around trying to get something to
work correctly. may have gone screwy.  I used one of my 7958B drives since there

boot once.
