Yes. I have KN02-CA V2.0m.

And the documentation (http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/pmax/board-list.html#proms)
says :

	KN02-CA v2.0m Does not TFTP boot files more than 1MB

BUT :  this DECstation is booting effectively the 'netbsd-INSTALL.ecoff'
via bootpd/tftpd over the network, and this kernel is a 4412384 bytes file.
Therefore, the documentation is not accurate in respect to the PROM
revisions.

This two stage netbooting, or a 'nfsnetbsd.gz' small ecoff kernel,
is not needed for the v2.0m PROM. For the others buggy PROMs, I don't
know.
