Sorry I didn't follow the dicussion too closely at the end of last week - a bout
of the flu didn't help...

Did you say what version of the firmware your 5000/240 had?  We have
a list of versions and whether or not they can boot via tftp.  I'm
suspecting (as I think some others have suggested) that your board just
plain doesn't like bootp and we should make sure it's on the list.

You can get this info when the machien first powers up - it'll be the
line that starts with "KN03".  I think either an "init" or "cnfg" would
tell you the same thing.

Good to hear you're up and running!
