Dear friends,

I have got several advises, thank you.
However, we have not got a success yet.

Now I use the netbsd.ip32 kernel version.

I installed PCI-bus LAN board(with DEC's 21140 turip chip) into
the O2 and tried the net-boot via the LAN board.
The results are as follows;
=================================================================
>boot -f boot p: /netbsd.ip32
ec0: no carrier: check Ethernet cable
Unable to execute bootp():/netbsd.ip32: IO error
Unable to load bootp():/netbsd.ip32: no such device
==================================================================

When I switch to use the on board ethernet port,
the result is as follows;
==========================================================================
> boot -f bootp():/netbsd.ip32
Setting $netaddr to 223.1.1.2 (from server 223.1.1.1)
Obtaining /netbsd.ip32 from server 223.1.1.1

The O2 stops at this point.


I use RS-232C serial port instead of main console output to 
get these data but some information is not displayed.


Any advises will be highly appreciated, thanks in advance.
