Hello,
I'm trying to install on a B&W G3.  I set up a PowerPC 9150 running
MkLinux as a bootp/tftp/nfs server, just like in the instructions in
the Diskless HOWTO.  However, when I try to netboot the G3, I get
the following:

0 > boot enet:0
CLIENT: 0050e4860523 128.253.253.26
SERVER: 0005020008da 128.253.253.132 dionysus.cogstud.cornell.edu
Transfer FILE: /ofwboot.elf
OBP-TFTP stats: pkts-read=413 pkts-flushed=0 bootp-rtrys=0 tftp-rtrys=72 udp-cks=13 tftp-errs=33
OBP-TFTP stats: pkts-read=442 pkts-flushed=0 bootp-rtrys=0 tftp-rtrys=78 udp-cks=14 tftp-errs=39
OBP-TFTP stats: pkts-read=473 pkts-flushed=0 bootp-rtrys=0 tftp-rtrys=84 udp-cks=15 tftp-errs=44
OBP-TFTP stats: pkts-read=506 pkts-flushed=0 bootp-rtrys=0 tftp-rtrys=90 udp-cks=16 tftp-errs=44 TFTP TimeOutload-size=0 adler32=1


LOAD-SIZE is too small
 ok


(this is after the 4th attempt at "boot enet:0")
So I'm guessing that the tftp request is timing out for some reason.
However, I tested it from a FreeBSD machine, and I was able to download
ofwboot.elf just fine.
Does anybody have any idea what could be going wrong?
Thanks..
