the only way i could get my SS2 to boot NetBSD for the first time to install
was from floppy.  it just completely blew up with trying a netboot or from
booting off of tape, so i'd HIGHLY recommend a floppy boot (or maybe a CD-ROM
or helper disk boot, but i didn't try either of those)

ps: this NetApp F330 is sexy.  now all i need are some disks.  hmmmmmmm.
