Here's what I get with 1.4.2 or 1.4.3:
>> boot -f tftp()
2..1..
997808+2142928+143892 entry: 0x80030000

Support for system type 12 is not present in this kernel.
Please build a kernel with "options DEC_5100" and reboot.

panic: platform not configured

halted.

Of course I can't easily rebuild one for now :)
If someone has one available I'd be happy to try.
