Try booting the "nfsnetbsd.ecoff" kernel and see if that works.  It's a
stripped down kernel that may work on some machines because it comes in
under 1MB.  If it does, please let me know.

Another option is to try an even smaller kernel compiled for only the
5000/200 with minimal support for anything else.  I can do this for you
in the next 24 hours, or after New Year's.
