I have committed fixes for these problems.

At least, RAMDISK3X kernel seems to boot properly from sd0a
on my 3/80. (boot message log attached)

I'll try to build a snapshot from the latest sources.
(It will take about a week?)

        Welcome to the NetBSD/sun3 RAMDISK root!

This environment is designed to do only three things:
1:  Partititon your disk (use the command:  edlabel /dev/rsd0c)
2:  Copy a miniroot image into the swap partition  (/dev/rsd0b)
3:  Reboot (using the swap partition, i.e. /dev/sd?b).

Copying the miniroot can be done several ways, allowing
the source of the miniroot image to be on any of these:
    boot tape,  NFS server, TFTP server, rsh server

The easiest is loading from tape, which is done as follows:
        mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind
        mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 2
        dd bs=32k if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/rsd0b
(For help with other methods, please see the install notes.)

To reboot using the swap partition, first use "halt",
then at the PROM monitor prompt use a command like:
        b sd(,,1) -s

To view this message again, type:  cat /.welcome
ssh: halt
 signal 15
ssh: syncing disks... done
Kernel halted.
