...is that the boot program or the kernel? I needs to be the boot program,
which then also does a bootp, nfs mounts the root file system, and
loads the kernel.
Here's by bootptab entry for my alpha:
# The Alpha in the computer room.

:bf=netboot.alpha:\
:rp=/local/diskless/meth/root:
The netboot program is located on the server at /tftpboot/netboot.alpha,
and my tftpd chroot's to /tftpboot.
