Hi Dan,
[Sorry for the reduced circumstances of this reply: I'm still not quite =
back on the air...]
Yes, I did tcpdump, and it just seems to stop after tftp hands it the =
pxeboot_ia32.bin file. Thanks to some of the other replies that I =
received, I've tried the pxeboot_ia32.bin from the 1.6.2 release tree, =
and that seems to be working more-or-less perfectly. The one catch here =
(which is probably pilot error in my dhcpd.conf) is that second-stage =
pxeboot does another DHCP request (I guess it has to), and gets the same =
filename as the original PXE mechanism. So I'm currently getting =
netbsd-current to boot by making a link called /pxeboot_ia32.bin that =
points to /netbsd. This can probably be finessed with conditionals in =
the dhcpd.conf file...
I'll see if I can submit a proper error report when I have the box set =
up properly.
Cheers,

You mentioned looking in logs (dhcpd) etc... have you watched the
network for activity with tcpdump? Maybe it's stuck arping for a
bogus address, or something else that might give you useful clue.
