I had the same problem when installing NetBSD on my Sun 3/60. You need
to go to the directory /pub/NetBSD/arch/sun3/install-11-p1 and get a copy
of the new netboot program (I think that's the one). That will take care
of the Requesting Internet address problem.

Yes, you need to run the bootparamd program, and one is in the Xkernel
package. If you can't find it, I can send one to you via e-mail or ftp.
