Can you have a look at
http://melanoma.cs.rmit.edu.au/~simonb/PMAX-type-list.html and see
if your PROM revision is listed there?  (The PROM version should be
displayed at the end of the self tests).  If your PROM isn't listed
there, can you send me the info and I'll add it to the list.

I thought the nfsnetbsd.ecoff kernel was small enough to boot on any
machine - I'll see if I can make a smaller one for only the 5000/xx
series...
