	Hi.

I am trying to install netbsd on my sparcbook (3gs) via floppy. This
doesn't appear to work. I am trying:

ok boot floppy

but have also tried:

boot fd(,,1) 
boot /fd 
boot sd(5,0)
boot fd

The device has the default jumper settings and AFIAK is connected
properly. It makes some noise upon power-up
no light action though.

For boot defaults the system shows the following:
boot sd() = /iommu/sbus/eppdma at 4,8400000/esp at 4,8800000/sd at 3,0
boot st() = /iommu/sbus/espdma at 4,8400000/esp at 4,8800000/st at 4,0
boot le() = /iommu/sbus/ledma at 4,8400010/le at 4,8c00000

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Appreciated.
