[Sunhelp] PC disk in Sun

[ward at zilla.nu]

Did the dd bit (cat /dev/zero | dd of=/dev/rdsk/cNtNdNs2 bs=512k) and all is
fine.  It was able to write the VTOC and all that.  Thanks for all the help,
folks!

Of course, now I have to figure out how to get it to find a boot-file.  If the
boot-file eeprom setting is blank and the device is set properly, shouldn't it
just work?  It complains about not finding the file to boot.  I'll play with it
tonight, give it some hard parameters.
