Actually I typed too soon.  The netboot install seemed to go OK but  
startup attempts fail at the point the bootloader makes the jump.

the serial port on the laptop I have hooked up is crap, so I miss a  
lot, but:

the bootloader decompresses, executes,
Bootloader RAMCode: selected partition /dev/hdc1
Jump_to_Real_Kernel starts, fails with "Disk error, trying BSD again"
fails with nrbootfailures maxed
halts

I've been unable to break in during this proces, should I be able to?   
At the end, I have no console to try and fix anything, it's done.

Any others with success?  I have 128 meg RAM in this Qube2, is this  
perhaps the overwriting bug from a bit ago?

Thanks,

Brian
