I'm trying to install NetBSD-1.4ALPHA on a SPARCstation 1. I can't get the
miniroot onto a QIC150 tape in a manner that allows the SS1 to boot. Will
a generic PC floppy drive work in a SPARCstation 1? If so, is there any
documentation on how to boot from floppy? Thanks. I've always had a
functioning hard disk with SunOS or NetBSD for previous installs but no
such luck in this case.
