Hi,

   I rescued a 330 from campus surplus(the original hard drive had
failed).  Anyway, I was able to install SunOS 4 from CD on it without a
problem, but I cannot get NetBSD 1.4.2 or the latest 1.5 ALPHA_2 to boot.
NetBSD 1.5 dies at boot time with this error:

>b sr(,,3)
Boot: sr(0,30,3)
>>NetBSD/sparc Secondary Boot, Revision 1.9
>>(root@flambard, Fri Oct 20 02:01:20 MEST 2000)
Booting netbsd

Memory alignment error with PC 0x003D01E0.   Instruction "0xC6222004".

NetBSD 1.4.2, OTH, dies with this error:

>b sr(,,3)
Boot: sr(0,30,3)

I realize that the install instructions say to switch over to the OpenBoot
prompt, but this machine does not seem to have it. Its ROM Rev. 3.0.3.

Reading through the archives, I noticed that there are problems on the
Sun4 architecture with Boot Loader Rev. 1.9 and that NetBSD 1.4.1 with
version 1.8 of the Boot Loader might work, I'll probably try that next.
Getting a bit tired of burning CDs though =)
