This was indeed the case. I reread the INSTALL.sparc and it doesn't
say anywhere I could find that the sun4m machines should use the
sun4c miniroot. So I assumed that the sun4c miniroot was only for the
sun4c machines.
Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions.
I can now boot NetBSD/sparc on my ss5! Cool!
Now, is there a document I should read on how to get NetBSD to run the
SunOS binaries? Thanks.
