I tried to TFTPboot with DS5000/25 and got a positive result.  It
could start booting off after successful TFTP downloading.

One glitch in my case; as I don't have most recent -current source
code set, I created an ECOFF kernel image from my own 1.2E kernel for
local disk boot.  The resulting ECOFF kernel refused to proceed at the
very last stage;

At this point keyboard input got frozen.  I think I've once seen a
single error message: 'keyboard intr error' something, but in many
cases it just locked up.  Jonathan, could you provide me your
nfsnetbsd.ecoff image?
