	Stop-A on most boxes... Assuming you have the Type 5 KB... BTW, it
dosen't have to be a Sparc CDROM drive... It just has to be a SCSI! I
found a NEC SCSI Cdrom and External case at the Goodwil for $5, and it
works great... :) (Plus a whole hoard of SCSI cables.) 
	BTW... there is a FreeBSD-Sparc mailing list and port.. it's just
really infantile due to everyone's time schedule... :(
