I have successfully(?) installed netbsd 1.4 on a sun sparc one.
Just at the end of the install process, the program complains that
the disk fails the sanity check. Then, when I try to boot from
sd(0,0,0)netbsd (without floppy) it gives the following error:

The syboot.fs disk is the only one that seemed to do the right thing
for the install. There are two scsi drives. They are IBM S4F's.
Is this a boot block/disklabel thing? I can use the floppy to mount up
the disks and all the files are there and extracted.
Thanks muchly.
