Hi,

OK, I've now crossed this hurdle.  To do so required using the
RAMDISK kernel from the 20000610 snapshot; the 1.5 RAMDISK kernel
is most definately toast (i.e. does not work).  The newer
(20010113) snapshot does not even contain a RAMDISK kernel.

I also had to search around a bit to discover that the Sun-3/60
boot ROM requires you to disable parity on the SCSI bus before it
wants to deal with the drive (as in "boot from it").  That must
be a rather obvious candidate for an addition to the install
notes...

The kernel installed by the miniroot installer is the INSTALL
kernel, and that one doesn't have rnd(4) enabled.  This caused
ssh-keygen to not generate an RSA key, and sshd thus disabled
version 1 operation.  Not exactly ideal.

Thus, I'm now compiling a new kernel for my machine, to get
moving further along.
