A diskless Indigo2 using the cobalt box as nfs server got NetBSD to 
crash reproducable. But this problem can't be the reason for the
crashes/lockups because they also occour with samba or even netcat.

Maybe it could be worth trying to use a NIC in the PCI slot instead of
the onboard tulip chips and look what's happening?

btw.: the original Linux locked up too from time to time, so it seems
to be related to some hardware bug
