[rescue] Unpopular speech and Screwy SparcStation LX

[Joshua Johnston]

Heck, it's not even getting as far as that in the install process.  It
won't even hit the CD boot sector properly, so I think the disc is bad.

I might need to get my hands on an OpenBSD bootable CD, I s'pose but
that's the one thing they charge money for, the damn ISO. Bah.  And
there's no floppy drive in the LX like my Classic has. Since I sank
everything into this machine's hardware, I don't have enough to get the
disc.  I can just hope someone here recognizes the problem with the
NetBSD install and can tell me a fix suggestion.

And can I drop the Classic's floppy drive into the LX and install
OpenBSD that way, albeit slower than hell over a modem?

LX is 4m should still work with Sol 8.

The 4c is not supported. (SS1, SS2, IPX, etc.)
