This is typed off the screen contents so spacing and such might be
a little off.

Alpha PC AXPpci33 ("NoName"), 166 MHz
8192 byte page size, 1 processor.
ream mem = 75497472 (2072576 reserved for PROM, 73424896 used by NetBSD)
[hangs here]

Here is the config file I'm using.  If it seems ok, can someone supply
a 1.2G kernel from this config file?  Also, how can I net boot the
machine, since I can't get the machine up even enough to install a new
kernel...
