I was expecting a message about the disk geometry or something...

I tried tcpdump to see what my pmax was doing, and now I'm confused.
It doesn't send any packet at all after it has loaded the kernel.
And the last packet it sends is always an TFTP error packet (if I have
managed to parse the tftpdump output correctly) but my tftp deamon
writes "read request for //nfsnetbsd.ecoff: success" to syslogd...

So maybe my kernel has been corrupted?
