Ladies and Gents,

I have yet another question regarding NetBSD installation on Indy:

I am using the files from the 200209080000 directory on releng.netbsd.org.

I have set up a server (NetBSD/alpha with DHCP client entry for the Indy, 
TFTP enabled and boot kernel in /tftpboot/netbsd) with kernel 
netbsd-INDY_INSTALL.ecoff. The Indy root directory holds the contents of 
installation/netboot/diskimage.gz.

I am booting the Indy from PROM:

 >>boot -f bootp():/netbsd/netbsd-INDY_INSTALL.ecoff
Setting $netaddr to 172.16.254.20 (from server 172.16.254.2)
Obtaining /netbsd/netbsd-INDY_INSTALL.ecoff from server 172.16.254.2
5876528
Cannot load bootp():/netbsd/netbsd-INDY_INSTALL.ecoff.
Error reading text section: cnt=0xc0, expected 0x59ab30.
Unable to load bootp():/netbsd/netbsd-INDY_INSTALL.ecoff: no such device.

The whole process takes a couple of minutes.

I am using a headless Indy. Is it probably the monitor that is missing?

I am stuck and would appreciate your help regarding t/s the issue.

Thanks,
/Markus.
