Welp, after about a total of a dozen RC1 install iterations, I've
determined what the heck was wrong w/ my bootup.

Since I was reinstalling a few times, I had decided to "make my life
easier" (which of course caused this whole problem, having the exact
opposite effect of what was intended) by creating just 2 partitions (/ and
swap) on the 1Gb drive in my AS200.

SRM doesnt appear to like that one bit (which I ended up thinking of this
because I had the _exact_ same problem w/ OpenBSD & the OpenBoot prom on
my SparcIPX at home).

Anyhoo, I've gone thru 2 complete install iterations w/ no booting issues,
once I carved the disk differently.
