Hi, mi again:

I try to install Netbsd on Dec 5000/25 via tftp, I read the Netbsd System 
manager's manual, and i can't understand what mean the line rp in the file 
bootptab, in the example is:
 myhost.mydom.com:\
      :ht=ethernet\      # ok
      :ha=08002b123456:\   # ok i have it.
      :ip=192.168.1.2:\    # ok 
      :sm=255.255.255.0:\  #ok  I guess
      :sa=192.168.1.1:\    # could be equal to  the ip? i think yes.
      :bf=install:\        # I guess is the install.ecoff gunziped, ok?
      :rp=/usr/export/pmax: # what is it? the path where is the kernel to 
install? is the directory where is install? :(...
      
      Sorry could be trival, but I don't know why can't install him.
      need something more, like: gw,dn,im,ra, etc....?

By the way the message is:

>>boot 3/tftp
?IO 3/tftp bootp tmuot

I have a Unixware 7.0 to help me in this odisea.

Thanks a lot, and see you.
