Hello,
       much to our disgust we cannot get netbsd anywhere near
beginning to think about loading on our hp300.

We have down loaded the appropriate arch distribution.

SYS_INST will not boot the system.
We have tried from disk, by NFS, by tape, and remote boot. 
We have D/L the distribution from three different sites.

Has ANYONE been able to do this or is this just an elaborate
joke.<please see above to see how disgusted we are>

boc
