I did
* grab .../INDY/cdimage/NetBSD-1.5.2-sgimips.bootable.gz
* unzipped it
* wrote to CD-R: cdrecord dev=/dev/cd1d -v NetBSD-1.5.2-sgimips.bootable
* fix my Indy's PROM variables:
setenv systempartition scsi(0)disk(6)rdisk(0)partition(8)
setenv osloadpartition scsi(0)disk(6)rdisk(0)partition(0)
setenv osloadfilename netbsd.ram
setenv OSLoader boot
* Run "dir":
>> ls
scsi(0)disk(6)rdisk(0)partition(8)/:
boot
=> works!
* Try booting:
>> boot
sc0,6,0: cmd=0x3 disconnected on non-word boundary (addr=a8748d82, 0x6 left). Resetting SCSI bus
dks0d6s8: error 2 status 0 on disk status check
sc0,6,0: cmd=0x3 disconnected on non-word boundary (addr=a8748d82, 0x6 left). Resetting SCSI bus
dks0d6s8: error 2 status 0 on disk status check
Cannot load scsi(0)disk(6)rdisk(0)partition(8)/boot.
Illegal f_magic number 0x1, expected MIPSELMAGIC or MIPSEBMAGIC.
Unable to load scsi(0)disk(6)rdisk(0)partition(8)/boot: execute format error

:-(
There's some CD light blinking and head moving right after the
"boot" command and before the errors. The CD-ROM is a HP SureStore 6020,
and it works fine on my i386 machine, the bus is terminated properly.
