the nvram is fine, it still has its ethernet address set as before, just
says can't open boot device.

Boot device: /iommu/sbus/espdma at 5,8400000/esp at 5,8800000/sd at 3,0 File and
args:

Can't open boot device

Perhaps your NVRAM has died, could you post the error message or
be a little bit more specific?

Hi,

I'm just experiencing some problems with my SpacStation 5. It was booting
properly previously, but I accidentally removed some files I shouln't have,
so it was rendered unusable, then I decided to reinstall NetBSD on it, I
netbooted it just fine and installed NetBSD on it, but now, it does not want
to boot from the hard drive any more. Does anyone have a suggestion as to
why this is happening?

P.S. I tried installing OpenBSD on it too, but that will not boot from the
hard drive either.

Thanks
