I need help trying to tftp boot my decstation 5000/200,
I have tried serveral files but I am not able to get a clean boot,
the files have been unzip with the dos verison of gzip (v 1.2.4)

some images seem to begin to load but then the system reboots after the
download.  Any ideas as to what to try next?

The following log is from attempts to boot
