Hello,
I'm learning NetBSD/mac68k netboot with Booter 2.0.1a6.

My netboot setting(BootP) is based on "Diskless NetBSD HOW-TO".
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/
TFTP server= Quadra800(4.99.4) is going to export NetBSD-3.1.
With Booter 2.0.1a6, I get;
>Booting...
>TFTP transfer done
>transparent = 1
>Boot error: This kernel is not in a format which the booter can
execute.
>***** Boot Stopped. *****
>Restoring Monitor settings...
>Boot error: kernel_parse(COUNT_KERNEL) failed
I tried some kernels(netbsd-GENERIC.gz or netbsd.GENERIC.gz)
including 3.1, 1.5.2, 1.4.2 and 3.1 kernel gzipped in 1.4.2.
But I got same Boot error.
What is "gzipped ELF kernels (but only gzipped a.out)" ?,
how can I make it ?
Thanks in advance,
