>Release:        6.99.16
>Organization:
micro systems
>Environment:
i386, ALIX.3C3 board (AMD Geode) with VGA and Award BIOS
>Description:
I boot the ALIX.3C3 over dhcpd, it gets pxeboot_ia32.bin and displays the boot 
console.

I enter the following commands:

> load tftp:miniroot.kmod
> boot tftp:netbsd

The kernel loads and starts, the dmesg displays the various devices being 
attached.  But it does not show that it attempts to load a module, and so 
miniroot.kmod doesn't get loaded and the system has not root filesystem.
>How-To-Repeat:
pxeboot i386 and instruct the booter to load a module before starting the 
kernel.
>Fix:
