A long time ago when I got my first DECstation I tried to tftp-boot from a
linux-host, but I did not get it to work. However the exact same
configuration worked without any problems on a FreeBSD-machine. so I think
that there at least used to be some sort of problem tftp-loading the
kernel from a linux-machine... Try with a *BSD-machine instead! =)
