[ booting sunos mini-root to load netbsd over the network ]

yes, this is possible, and it isn't hard.  it's even simpler if
you rcp the files to the local machine and then run the install.sh..

anyway,

i've got weird things happening with tcsh 6.04 on my ss1+ ..
certain programs seem to interact badly with tcsh and tty
modes, such that one of the crnl modes is fiddled with, and
output sometimes misses a cr after the nl..

ie: (forgive long lines)

oink /oink# df
Filesystem  512-blocks    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
                                                           /dev/sd0a        46846   17652   24508    42%    /
                                                                                                             /dev/sd0g       236478  146188   66642    69%    /usr
  /dev/sd0h       392238  324542   28472    92%    /oink


where as with /bin/sh:

# df
Filesystem  512-blocks    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd0a        46846   17652   24508    42%    /
/dev/sd0g       236478  146188   66642    69%    /usr
/dev/sd0h       392238  324542   28472    92%    /oink


some things, like ls -l, only lose the cr's after about 7 lines.

any ideas, work arounds, fixes ?

.mrg.
