Hmmm.... that might work....  you probably don't need the ",c00000",
though maybe you do...  My second le is in an SS5 now so I can't test.

Here's the Field Service Manual has this table:

     Alias   SPARCstation 2      SPARCstation 1+
             Boot paths          and IPC Boot Paths

     disk0   /sbus/esp/sd at 3,0    sd(0,0,0)
     disk1   /sbus/esp/sd at 1,0    sd(0,1,0)
     disk2   /sbus/esp/sd at 2,0    sd(0,2,0)
     disk3   /sbus/esp/sd at 0,0    sd(0,3,0)
     tape0   /sbus/esp/st at 4,0    st(0,0,0)
     tape1   /sbus/esp/st at 5,0    st(0,1,0)
     cdrom   /sbus/esp/sd at 6,0:c  sd(0,6,2)
     net     /sbus/le            le

missing from that table is:

     floppy  /fd                 fd0

and of course "disk" == "disk0", and "tape" == "tape0"
