i was able to come up with the 7.1 image and that did the trick. i'm
still a bit confused about why the newest rommon image doesn't have
disk0 available, but whatever. i have found some old discussion about
the v6 issue on sup2, which implies that even sup720 does a lot of v6 in
software. does you have to jump all the way to a sup2t for better v6
handling? or is the 6500 just not the platform for that? for now, i
think we'll probably be fine even with the sup2, but i'm curious if we
have forklift in our future...
