Greetings,

I just got a second hand sun4c machine and I want to put NetBSD/sparc 
on it. I don't have SunOS or access to any other Suns and I am trying to
figure out how I can install it:

	1) My sparc has a floppy drive (but the floppy image under
	   ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/arch/sparc doesn't work for me).

	2) I have a QIC-150 tape that I can write under DG/UX (m88k SVr4).
	   Is it possible to write a boot tape?

	3) I have (root) access to a DG/UX (m88k SRv4) machine that I
	   could try to netboot from. Would I have a problem (e.g. trying 
	   to make the /dev? entries) doing this from DG/UX?

Thanks
Dane
