2.0 kernel hangs after _trying_ to display something that I can barely  
make out as an image containing the word "NetBSD".


back with 1.6.2....

Not sure how to break in DDB. I remember trying ctrl-c with no success.

tcpdump output:

not sure which file it's looking for exactly

I've mostly followed the NetBSD-diskless HOWTO - mostly, because I didn't

how trivial would it be? I'm not a kernel hacker I might be tempted to  
look into it though :)
