Interesting. I seem to recall having problems reading RL02 packs on 
NetBSD just giving me NULL bytes as well.  I may have had the same 
combination (netbooted off a DELQA/DEQNA), running off NetBSD 1.5.  It 
worked fine under VMS, so I just suspected that RL02s didn't really work 
with NetBSD anymore.
