I just got my hands on a 3000/300x.  It powers up fine, but netbooting
fails.  I guessed that it seems to like netbooting via MOP, so I get
"netboot" from the installation dir, put it in /tftpboot/mop, made a
symlink to it, and tried to netboot the 3000/300x.  It fails thusly:

>>> boot esa0
INIT-S-CPU...
INIT-S-ASIC...
INIT-S-MEM...
INIT-S-NVR...
INIT-S-CXT...
INIT-S-SCC...
INIT-S-NI...
INIT-S-SCSI...
INIT-S-ISDN...
AUDIT_BOOT_STARTS ...
AUDIT_BOOT_REQ
AUDIT_BSERVER_FOUND
AUDIT_LOAD_BEGINS
AUDIT_LOAD_DONE

?05 HLT INSTR
  PC= 00000000.20000004 PSL= 00000000.00001F00

>>>

Does anyone have any ideas?

I've upgraded the flash as well.  No help, unfortunately.  Here's the boot
sputter:

                SCSI      OK

It's netbooting from a NetBSD-1.4.1 sparc machine (sparc 2), which I've
netbooted other sparcs from before.  

If I can't netboot, does anyone have any other great ideas?

Thanks!
