Can we please add this information to the install DOC in the next
release?  FYI, I figured out the problem on my own.  Bad floppy
drive.  Swapped it, replaced it, rawrite the sysboot*, away we go.

Information that should be available:

Openboot commands that should also be listed:

setenv boot-device floppy
setenv boot-file netbsd.gz

and/or:

boot floppy netbsd.gz



Thanks,
