I tried to tar my stuff onto my Python Dat Drive.
It didn't work. 
Here's the command line I used and the response I got.

$> tar cfb /dev/st0 20 *
pdma out: count=1 (0x1) (pending count 0)
panic: something is wrong

Then I get into the debugger.
It's ugly.... 

here can I get the m68k source dist for NBD1.1?
Since I am actually at a point where the system is stable enough to 
compile my own kernels etc.....
