>Description:
	The sun3x install documentation mentions that the tftp boot filename
	must be the IP address of the machine in hex (e.g. 8273900B).  The
	3/80 I tried to boot asked for a filename ipaddr.arch, like a Sun 4,
	(i.e. 8273900B.SUN3X).  Maybe this depends on the PROM revision - I
	have rev 3.0
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot a Sun 3/80 diskless using the installation instructions.

  Your Sun3x expects to be able to download a second stage bootstrap
  program via TFTP after having acquired its IP address through RARP
  when instructed to boot "over the net".  It will look for a filename
! derived from the machine's IP address expressed in hexadecimal.  For
! example, a sun3x which has been assigned IP address 130.115.144.11
! will make an TFTP request for `8273900B'.  Normally, this file is a
! symbolic link to the NetBSD/sun3x "netboot" program, which should be
! located in a place where the TFTP daemon can find it (remember, many
  TFTP daemons run in a chroot'ed environment).  The netboot program
  may be found in the install directory of this distribution.
