Should work. The 425e is sort of a strange breed of cat, and that's the

netbooting?

Yah. 1.0 isn't terribly conducive to bootstrapping. I'm going to be
uploading a 1.1_ALPHA pre-release install set today. If you have the
ability to netboot, you'll want to give that a try. I'll post when it's
uploaded.
