I've got a second-hand Apollo 400. Unfortunately I've not got any documentation
for it.

It is a 68030-based box with 16Mb of memory, 600M SCSI disc & 98754A 21" Color
monitor, AUI , BNC and small-SCSI60 connectors are on it's back side. It has no
floppies( it has, but I've got no HP-IB cable.... may be anyone can provide me
a cable pinout & *how* can I connect it to Apollo?)

It says it is

I've hacked out  how to switch my Apollo from Domain mode to HP/UX compatible.
But it's everything I know about it. :-(

I've got a trouble trying to boot NetBSD SYS_INST to it. I'm using my second
FreeBSD box. I've configured rbootp:
/etc/rbootp
#
#
08:00:09:15:0E:88       SYS_INST      #
#

It runs my ed0 in  promiscuous mode, and there I've got

It repeats continiously & nothing :-( happens with Apollo box.
It looks like Apollo box doesn't see rbootd replyes.
Can you help me? May be I'm pressing incorrect buttons? May be I have to setup
it more correctly? 

Excuse me, if the problem is dummy, I haven't even deal with Apollo boxen.
