	Well try stepping it up to 38400, the SCC's are supposed to be
able to handle it...

	Just to clairify, I think PROM or probably more correctly SRM
would describe the system monitor, NVRAM is only where the system settings
are stored. (bootpath, console, etc.) The PROM's which can tftp boot is
largely outdated from what I've been told. The ones on the NetBSD page are
mostly accurate for 1.3 and 1.4.1. I don't think we even have a record of
the 5.7j on our page... oh well.
