Perhaps my problem will sound a little stupid, but I have no idea on 
how to solve it.

I am taking some old Sun3/60s back to life but they were forgotten 
apart for so long that their disks which had booting SunOS partitions 
do not even spin anymore and the tape drivers also fail.  After some 
time I could set it to boot over the network and now one of them is 
running NetBSD-1.1.  Now I have got a working SCSI disk which I 
successfully disklabeled and soft-formatted with newfs, and which I 
can mount even when booting with nfs.

The problem arrives when I try to boot from this disk.  I am not sure 
if bootstraping binaries were actually written after i have run

        installboot ufsboot bootxx /dev/rsd0c

because when I change booting device from le0 to sd(0,0,0) I get many 
different error messages from the ROM, from illegal instructions to 
bus errors, also through those "si(0,0,0) medium" errors and "expected 
10 got 6" thing.  I don't even know if this is the correct syntax to 
installboot or if these are the correct binaries.

Please, if you have *any* working clue and experience you could 
share, send me your help because I need these machines up and working 
as soon as possible.  Even if they look like museum pieces, they may 
still be useful to our lab here.

Thanks in advance.

Um abraco.
