Hi,

I tried to netboot my Alphaserver 2100(Model 4/200, 128MB RAM, 2G HDD)
with 1.5ZC snapshot on FTP...

First try: (failed)

 - 1.5ZC snapshot
 - tftp, nfs server setup on 211.44.63.162
 - I followed INSTALL.html document.
 - netboot(from 1.5ZC) is copied to boot.netbsd.alpha
 - bootp/tftpboot server is FreeBSD-current
 - netboot failed with 'kernel stack not valid halt'

Second try: (failed)

 - 1.5ZC snapshot, netboot from 1.5.2
 - netbsd.gz is 1.5ZC
 - netboot seems to be OK, but kernel boot hangs without notice.

Third try:

 - 1.5.2 release
 - kernel stops with the following message:
   
   Support for system type 9 is not present in the kernel.
   Please build a kernel with "options DEC_2100_A500" and reboot.

   panic: platform not configured

   Stopped at      0xfffffc000053f064:     ret    zero,(ra)
   db>

Can you give me some hints? Here is the boot log.
