Two questions..

1) Netboot with fxp0

After setup tftp, nfs, bootp server with linux/i386,
I issued "boot -protocols bootp eia0" on 164LX console.
(SRM v5.8-1 on 164LX recognize 82559 NIC)
Kernel is loaded with tftp session and
some code size information is displayed.
But as soon as the system switches to OSF PAL,
"CPU halted" message appeared and system
returned to console mode.
How can I fix this problem ?

2) fxp0 timeout

I uses NetBSD 1.5 release.
fxp0 (82559) frequently (about every 5-10 minutes) stops
with "fxp0: Device timeout" regardless of network traffic.
But after a few seconds, it continues to work again.
Is there any available patch ?

Thanks ...
