Hi Jamie,

Yes, I did. However, after hours of debugging, I got it. It was the name
of the kernel. I named it vmlinux_raq-2800.gz, and that doesn't work.
After renaming it to vmlinux.gz the machine booted...

The funny thing is that I had problems with booting when I installed
NetBSD the very first time when I named the kernel vmlinux.gz, and it
worked fine after renaming it to vmlinux_raq-2800.gz.

If anybody has an explanation, or why it didn't work with the other name
(which the FAQ labels an "alternative name"), please let me know. I now
save the kernel under both names, just to be sure.

Well, the firmware error message could have been clearer (like
"vmlinux.gz not found" *g*), but that's not NetBSD's fault... :)

Thanks for your feedback,
Jonas
