Hi all,

I have used http://www.camaronet.de/download/netbsd-990911.zip) kernel and
solved the problem below, when trying to boot a uVAX3300, 12 mb of memory,
DELQA, bootserver=OpenBSD 2.4.

boot device: <unknown>
                    root device: qe0 <-- I type qe0
                    dump device:  <-- I type nothing, pressed enter
                    file system (default generic):  <- type nothing, pressed
enter

                    then, I get:

                    nfs_boot: trying RARP (and RPC/bootparam)
                    nfs_boot: client_addr=0xa104801
                    nfs_boot: timeout...
                    nfs_boot: timeout...
                    nfs_boot: timeout...
                    nfs_boot: bootparam whoami, error=51
                    no file system for qe0
                    cannot mount root, err = 79
                    root device (default qe0):

The problem was the uVAX was not sending the RARP request. Apparently the new
kernel resolved this problem.

Thanks to John Rogers for the hint,
