Hi.

I'm trying to netboot a Series 400 I was given.  I'm not quite sure if
it's a 400t or 433t since the serial number seems to suggest the former
while NetBSD claims the latter.  Anyway, I've gotten so far as getting
SYS_UBOOT up through rbootd (my server is NetBSD/i386).  rarpd is also
running and in debug mode, but doesn't seem to get any traffic, so there
it stops.  Serial console output is:

It waits a bit at the Boot: prompt, and then prints the warning and
hangs indefinitely.

Hm.  After writing the above, I tried with OpenBSD's SYS_UBOOT, and that
does go further.  Seems NetBSD's version is buggy.  Consider this a bug
report then. ;)
