----------------------------------------
When I try to load miniroot i get the "media error".
If I try to run newfs I get the "media" error.
When I ran fsck on the /dev/rsd0a, i got errors like crazy.
I tried the external loopback test from the prom, it failed. (all the 
other bus tests were succesfull though).

I sure wish I knew what the problem was with this thing.
