Matt,
I've tried your boot floppy (2nd upload :) on a SS5, and it worked like a
charm. Great work! I didn't try to run sysinst too far, didn't want to
risk nuking the existint OS. (I had some _bad_ experiences with sysinst's
upgrade-option lately on a i386 system).
Can you also add the following small enhancements, please:
- make it find netbsd.gz automatically, if it can't find netbsd
- don't ask for "Install, Shell or Halt", but run sysinst directly.
Sysinst offers all this, too.
Having this thing as a part of the sparc distribution will really greatly
help people install new systems (IMHO)!
Thanks a lot,
Hubert
