Many:
 - Interrupt the serial console by pressing space, then enter the
   bfd command from the cobalt FAQ
 - you probably don't need rpc.bootparamd
 - dhcpd should be used over bootp
 - Use tcpdump or (better) ethereal to debug what's going on on the net
 - Make sure you've read the port-cobalt FAQ that I've updated a bit last
   week. Also make sure to read the general "Netbooting FAQ" to get an
   idea of how netbooting in general works. URLs are:

   http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/cobalt/faq.html
   http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/

If that doesn't help, let us know. :)
