Oh, I can netboot my system with "boot enet". This is an OF 2.0 system. My
dhcpd.conf has:

host tanis {
        fixed-address 10.0.0.2;
        hardware ethernet 00:05:02:4e:49:3d;
        filename "ofwboot.xcf";
        next-server 10.0.0.1;
        server-name "10.0.0.1";
        option root-path "/y5/mount";
        option host-name "tanis";
}
host tanis {
        fixed-address 10.0.0.2;
        hardware ethernet 00:05:02:4e:49:3d;
        filename "ofwboot.xcf";
        next-server 10.0.0.1;
        server-name "10.0.0.1";
        option root-path "/y5/mount";
        option host-name "tanis";
}

It will tftp ofwboot.xcf, which will then boot "netbsd" off of the nfs
mount "/y5/mount" from server 10.0.0.1.

Take care,

Bill
