I'm trying to boot NetBSD on my DC.  I'm kinda new to NetBSD.  I burned
the kernel image to a CD.  It asks me for my root device...I feed it the
BBA.  I set the dump device to none, and filesystem type to nfs.

My linux box is the bootp server and I'm exporting a directory from it
with base.tgz and etc.tgz from:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/hpcsh/snapshot/

At first I got a warning no /dev/console message.  Then the system would
hang.  So from my linux machine, I did a MAKEDEV all in /dreamcast/dev.

Now my system goes through all the processes and mounts the root file
system.  Soon as it prints the message that it has mounted the file
system, my DC will just reboot.

My logs on my Linux machine show that the file system has in fact been
mounted.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks...
