I'm having some troubles getting a kernel to start via netboot on my two
machines.

On my 8500, it loads ofwboot.xcf fine, downloads the kernel, and fails at
starting to execute it (typically to do with symbol tables).  I've attached
the console output below.

On my PowerBook (FireWire), it downloads ofwboot.xcf fine, but hangs at
trying to load the kernel.  I can get to the "Boot:" prompt and type in a
kernel name, but it just keeps sending DHCP requests and eventually times
out with

From the DHCP server, /var/log/messages spits out:

This is using today's snapshot from releng.netbsd.org and both the
netbsd.GENERIC_MD.gz and netbsd-GENERIC.gz kernels.  And I tried gunzip'ing
them first (as that solved my problems before).

I'd appreciate any help.
