Btw, the syboot NetBSD flop makes an excellent recovery diskette for those
with Solaris installed. I was rather impressed. I tried to mount the fs
with an obsd diskette and it didnt work. NetBSD flop mounted it even
though it needed to be fsck'ed. Who says there're no Sparc Solaris rescue
disks?=) 

PS

Im slowly discovering how incredible the NetBSD project and how much it
has to offer. If any of you have any ideas on how to promote NetBSD in my
aread (that is, Orlando FL) drop me a line.
