Hello Everyone,

Well, I'm new to this list, new to SGI-hardware and new to 
netbsd-sgimips(but I run netbsd-sparc for a while now...) ;-). I've gotten 
myself a Challenge S R5000SC180 and I'm trying to netboot it and install 
netbsd on it.

I got everything sorted out as far as I could find online and in the 
archives, but I haven't found an answer to this problem:

Whenever I try to boot from netbsd-INDY_INSTALL (I also tried 
netbsd-GENERIC_INDY, same problem)

...
this goes on, till the machine reboots and starts all over again...

I couldn't find an answer why it does this or how it could be solved, 
anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
