While on this, has anyone had any success at all experimenting with
NetBSD booting diskless on a /240?  I just get some sort of trap error
when I type 'boot 3/tftp', and fall back to the monitor ROM.

After a quick look at a 5100 and /200, they seem to look tftp (at least
as far as not jumping back to the monitor ROM).
