Bingo!!!
I have that stripped BA123 in the garage that has a DEQNA
cable/bulkhead still in it. After reading Allison's statement, I read
the DEQNA docs more carefully, and the LED's show correct activity on
the board itself. So, after feeding the cats and bathing in sunburn
lotion, I swapped out the cab kit, and have netbooted the NetBSD kernel.
I think I'm going to netboot NBSD on NFS filesystems, use it to label
the local disks and see if I can get Quasijarus0a installed.
I haven't yet tried the suggested boot tape images, but I probably
will, just to see what I was screwing up.
Thanks to everyone for the help.
