Hi all,

I have a DECSystem 5000/25 - a beast not listed in the hardware database, but
it's just a Personal DECStation that ignores the video-out.

Anyway, I'm having problems TFTP booting.  Whenever I try to load a file, I
get something like this:

--
>>boot 3/tftp/nfsnetbsd.ecoff
888368?IO: 3/tftp, a.out err (-5)
--

I'm using Pumpkin TFTP for Windows, which lets me watch the file's progress. 
Sometimes it'll time out after a very small number of bytes (~2K), and
sometimes after a couple hundred K, but I've never loaded above 360K before
the system gives up.  I have my block size set to 512 bytes because
DECStations seem to like this size for everything.  I've read that this PROM
doesn't like files bigger than 1MB, but I've tried files larger and smaller to
no avail.  I've even tried a few precompiled Linux kernels in desperation, but
they don't want to load either.  Does anyone have any advice?  I'd really love
to get NetBSD running, but I seem to have no way of doing so!

In case it's of use, I have PROM KN02-CA v2.0m.
