| 	any problems.
| 
| 	A 3.0 or a -current kernel will not netboot.  They will properly
| 	pxeboot and start loading the kernel, but when the kernel tries
| 	to get a dhcp lease, it will time out.

| 	Note: the problem also exists on port-i386.

| 	The network interface in question is a bge (onboard).

| 	Below is the dmesg of the 2.1 kernel:

tcpdump?
