[rescue] Ultra 1 boot from install CD fails

[Todd Vernon]

Agree that NetBSD is ignoring something that Solaris is not.  I feel like
the last message in the boot before it hangs is a clue,
"using default device instance data”

Im not exactly sure what that means so I reset the IDProm and reprogrammed
it using 80 as the machine type but no luck.  Im not even completely sure
that “default device instance data” is what is stored in there but some
google searches seem to be tied to that.

NetBSD boot seems completely normal with no warnings or messages I would
not expect.

I’ve moved all the sims around and removed different sets and like
clockwork it always hangs at the same place so im pretty sure its not a
memory issue.

Im down to just the CDROM drive or just the Zulu to take everything else
off the SCSI bus.  It’s a head scratcher.

Thanks for the reply!
