Actually, I was looking for a way to make it happen any way possible,
be it NetBSD or Solaris 1. I would prefer not to downgrade to Solaris 2
in order to do this as I don't know how well it would work with NetBSD.
Ostensibly I would *LOVE* to be able to build a tape-based miniroot
filesystem, i.e. actually have the tape device mountable. It would,
of course, be read-only (caught that trick from Pyramid), but it would
enable the disk to be completely relabeled.
One could fit a reasonable miniroot into 8MB, and probably even 4MB.
I'm rambling again. Coffee will do that, though....

Rule #1:
If you can't interrupt it, terminate it.
If you can't terminate it, kill it.
If you can't kill it, reboot. --greywolf@captech.com
