Which, btw, would be a nifty thing to have if you've got an alpha
capable of bootstrapping over the network.  I've just installed
NetBSD/sparc on a couple of sparcs using NetBSD's boot.net images and an
NFS mounted root directory as the install media.  It's very cool and
saved me the trouble of tracking down a SCSI floppy or CDROM.
