Hello,

I have just acquire an old NeXTstation, and I'm trying to test NetBSD on
it. I' new to both NeXTstation and NetBSD worlds, but I have a lot of
experience with Solaris and Linux systems.

I have folow the instructions for net booting the system, but it seems
the NeXT don't recognize the kernel. I have the same error as one on the
list in July :

   NeXT> ben()/boot.netbsd
   Requesting BOOTP information[boot]
   . [OK]
   Booting /tftpboot/boot.netbsd from mylinuxbox.domain.com
   .unknown binary format

(maybe not the same texts, but the same error : quickly say "unknown
binary format).

I have try both 1.5.2 and 1.5.1 kernel.

Is the problem this model is not supported ?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

		Olivier
