     Hmm, so it should work.

} Your tcpdump doesn't show anything after tftp, probably you filterred
} that out.  It would be interesting to see dump with those messages.

     I did not filter anything out.  My filter basically looks for any
packet with the MAC address of my Ultra 2.  I used the same filter for
my SparcStation 5 (substituting its MAC address of course), so I know
what it shows.  After it prints, "13000", it never prints anything
else, never sends another packet, and I can't do Stop-A, which
indicates that it has crashed hard.  As mentioned in the part that you
snipped, the tcpdump is available at
http://victoria.tc.ca/~jnemeth/u2-netboot-dump .
