Feh. I just verified that "boot net" would reliably boot netbsd_netboot from
/tftpboot (as per DHCP), then put copies of rom980225.img in /tftpboot named
_both_ rom.DNA and netbsd_netboot, so no matter what it loaded, it would get
the right bits.

"net-flash" worked like a charm. 1.4.1 happily netboots now, and I'm building
a few packages to stretch the shark's legs a little. Tomorrow I'll look into
setting up a local IDE drive for it.

Thanks to all of you for helping bring another NetBSD'd shark into the world!
