I had a look at the elf2ecoff on ftp.netbsd.org, however, since I don't
have a working NetBSD yet, I cannot test it out.  If somebody
wants to supply me with either the new NetBSD netbsd.ecoff or an Ultrix
version of elf2ecoff, then I can verify this.  A response from
Tohru Nisimura might be better, and I wait for these changes to become
'official' on ftp.netbsd.org.  Unless Simon finds difficulties with the
changes that is.

Either way, removing all tftp booting restrictions sounds pretty sweet
from here.

Regards,
Greg
