I also tried tftp, and get stuck at the same value whether a kernel or
its compressed version is used - would that rule out the pxe boot side
of things? (FreeBSD iso served via its pxe boot from the same NetBSD
server also worked.)

(Really flumoxed, as the kernel which is running on the laptop I'm
typing on currently doesn't load, yet they are very similar.)
