Hi Henry. I didn't boot my 3/60 originally off of a linux box, but off of
a SS10 running Sol2.5... However, it looks like you're having the same
problem I did.

However, to boot my 3/60, I replaced the netboot program with the boot
block of SunOS 4.1.1. This required that I rename the netbsd-rd kernel to
vmunix in the root NFS mounted directory for the machine, but it worked
great. :) I got it to come up and installed NetBSD-1.1 onto the 3/60's
hard drive off of the net. :)
