Hello, im trying to install netbsd 1.6 on a R5000 O2

my dhcp/tftp server is a linux redhat 7.3

my tftp is working because i tried to get some files from another
machine and everything goes ok

my dhcpd.conf is this

shared-network VBNET
{
  subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0
  {
    range 192.168.0.1 192.168.255.254;
    host wendy=20
    {
      hardware ethernet 08:00:69:0c:b0:21;
      fixed-address 192.168.0.8;
      filename "/tftpboot/netbsd-sgimips";
    }
  }
}

i did exactly what install.txt tell me
i'll install from network, saving files locally

on prom i typed:

>> setenv SystemPartition bootp():
>> setenv netaddr 192.168.0.8
>> boot

on linux, i checked /var/log/messages and see this:

...

on SGI O2 side, after some time (after boot command)

no server for :/sash
your netaddr environment variable may be set incorrectly, or
the net may be too busy for a connection to be made.
unable to execute bootp():/sash: could not connect to server.
unable to load bootp():/sash: could not connect to remote server.

thanks
Marcello
