vmunix: mipsel 407 executable not stripped - version  2.10
vmunix2: mipsel 407 executable - version  2.10

-rw-r--r--  1 root      3589684 Jul  5 18:16 vmunix
-rw-r--r--  1 root      1561600 Jul  6 15:58 vmunix2

vmunix displays:

1400688+160592+357664

and boots okay.

vmunix2 displays:

1400688?IO: 3/tftp, a.out err (-5)

and returns to boot monitor.

I was worried for a while there.  No matter what I did on
the bootp side, it keep downloading the same vmunix kernel.
It wasn't until I move vmunix out of the /tftpboot directory
did it actually send the right one.

I think we're on a winner here.

Regards,
Greg
