/*
 * 
 * I have a working diskless Sparc2 that I just got a 540 meg drive for.
 * 
 * I created an entry for it in /etc/disktab so disklabel would work like
 * so:
 * 
 * fireball|Quantum Fireball 540s:\
 *         :ty=winchester:ns#138:nt#2:nc#3835:\

nt#2?  You only have two tracks (heads) on your disk drive?

 *         :pa#131072:oa#0:ba#1024:fa#512:\
 *         :pb#131072:ob#131072:\
 *         :pc#1058460:oc#0:\
 *         :pd#131072:od#262144:\
 *         :pe#665244:oe#393216:
 * 
 * I newfs'ed the filesystems and installed the bootstrap using installboot
 * (and binstall /usr/mdec when the above didn't work)

Did you properly call binstall?

Did you edit your disklabel to reflect the actual parameters you wanted
to use?

 * 
 * I boot the machine from the monitor using `boot disk` and am rewarded with:
 * 
 * Boot device: /sbus/esp/sd03,0   File and args: netbsd
 * Bad magic number in disk label
 * Can't open Sun disk label package
 * Can't open boot device
 * 
 * Whats up with this?  Disklabel didn't complain... *sigh*
 * 
 * As usual, its probably something stupid.  Any ideas?
 * 
 * Thanks.
