Hi,

I need to clobber the HDD on a RS/6000 7043-140 and I am doing it by 
installing NetBSD over what's there.

How does one create a boot floppy under NetBSD/sparc? The NetBSD/prep 
floppy .fs files are all larger than a 1.44M floppy and the RS/6000 
throws an exception when I boot it from a floppy that is a simple dd of 
the .fs images. What should I be doing to create a floppy that works?
